Back to EpisodesAG Squawk AM 8/21/2026 with Jed Sidwell | A Truth Social Post Could Rattle the Cattle Market Today
Description
We start the morning with a fast, usable snapshot of cattle, hog, and grain markets, then shift to a hotter, drier forecast that could change late-season yield ideas. We also read President Trump’s ground beef import announcement and explain why it could matter for cattle prices and rebuilding the U.S. herd.
• live cattle, feeder cattle, and lean hog performance from the prior close
• corn, soybeans, and Chicago wheat levels with a choppy overnight tone
• renewed Southern Plains heat and dryness and what it signals for risk
• warmer turn in parts of the Corn Belt and why localized weather still rules
• ProFarmer Crop Tour implied yield drop and the potential production impact
• Trump’s tariff-free ground beef import plan and our concerns on market share
• why importing more beef may conflict with rebuilding the domestic cow herd
• chart of the day on Moderna, Merck, and links to ag pharma
• key calendar items including PMI data and the Cattle on Feed report
