Back to EpisodesAG Squawk AM 8/18/2026 with Jed Sidwell | Soybean Crush, Hog Health, and a Surprising Bond Market
Description
We run through a quick morning scoreboard for grains and hogs, then zoom out to the weather and macro signals that can shake up prices later in the week. We also dig into record July NOPA soybean crush data, a small but important PRRSV improvement, and why the 30-year Treasury yield deserves a spot on every ag trader’s radar.
• Live price check on corn, soybeans, Chicago wheat and lean hogs
• Why early-week trade can look calm before late-week volatility
• Cooler, drier shift for parts of the northern Corn Belt and heat relief into Kansas and Oklahoma
• NOPA July soybean crush at 216.5 million bushels and what the slower daily pace suggests
• PRRSV decline in sow farms and why farrowing-house health matters most
• 30-year Treasury yield near 5.33% and how outside markets can hit agriculture
• ADP employment, housing starts, building permits and pending home sales on the day’s calendar
