We saw a strong day in soybeans, backed by more strength in soybean oil and some frost concerns from the weekend with November soybean futures breaking $12 before finishing off the highs. Meantime, corn was moderately higher with December futures breaking the $5 mark and closing above it. Kristi Van Ahn-Kjeseth with Van Ahn & Company joins us for market analysis and perspective on today’s show. More at https://www.vanahnco.com.

Corn and soybean futures tested key resistance and psychological levels on Monday with December corn closing above the $5 mark. Meantime, cattle and hogs saw more selling pressure to start the week. Was it simply follow through selling after Friday’s poor close? John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss on today’s show.

We saw some areas get frost over the weekend and there is some concern that it may have impacted early planted crops. What does the forecast look like as we move into the first full week of May? Eric Snodgrass with Nutrien Ag Solutions joins us to discuss on our Weekly Weather Update. Find more online at https://www.ag-wx.com.
