Sort & Cull

I'm wishing you all a great week from the DTN Ag Summit in Chicago. While past Summit events have been powerful, I'd argue that with not being able to travel and see one another in person last year due to COVID-19, that this year's event is second to none. From the tremendous lineup of speakers that the day holds, to the insightful one-on-one conversations that help share awareness of the different strategies that various operations use, there's not a minute to spare and we all have so much to learn.

On Monday afternoon, we have the livestock outlook, and I'm excited about the year ahead of us. With the recent advancements throughout the cash market, and the much-needed leverage that has been regained throughout the feedlot sector, a redistribution of the market's dollars could be what producers look most forward to in 2022.

If you aren't able to be in Chicago this week, I will have a recap of my market outlook available in the weeks to come so that everyone may be prepared for the year ahead and the opportunities that it could hold.
