Episode Details

The Friggin Farm & Ranch Report is back. In this episode, Matt breaks down the cattle markets, grain and fertilizer shock from the Iran conflict, the latest dicamba ruling, and the devastating wildfires in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We talk fed cattle near $240 live, feeder indices in the mid‑$360s, corn in the mid‑$4s, beans in the upper‑$11s, and how higher nitrogen, fuel, and interest rates squeeze ranchers even with strong prices. Matt also digs into Strait of Hormuz shipping risk, global urea trade, and why fertilizer and freight costs matter just as much as futures quotes for working cowboys in flyover country. Closing out, we cover wildfire cattle losses, hay over $250/ton, disaster programs, and why fire, drought, regulations, and war all stack up on real farm and ranch families.
