Episode Details

On today's show, we begin in Segment One with Casey Schleusner, retail sales agronomist with Brevant seeds, who shares some early soybean yields from Brevant brand Enlist E3 soybeans and how they are exceeding grower expectations as harvest gets underway in North Central Iowa. And we also talk about why October, soybean cyst nematode month, is the time to think about SCN and soil sampling. Learn more at Brevant.com or contact your local ag retailer.

Cory Bratland of AgMarket.Net joins us in Segment Two after a strong Tuesday in the grain and cattle markets. Bratland covers harvest progress and the dry weather window, what he expects from Friday's October WASDE, why a stronger Brazilian real is helping soybeans, how to think about a plan for your harvest bushels, escalating Russia and Ukraine tensions in wheat, a cattle market that finally made a move, and the outside markets he is watching, including the dollar index and crude oil.

Then, we talk with Shawn Hackett of Hackett Financial Advisors as he breaks down what is moving grain and livestock markets as October begins. Hackett digs into a record El Niño and what it could mean for Brazil's soybean and second crop corn seasons, why the Brazilian real may be the most important currency for grain markets, how Russia, Ukraine and Middle East tensions could squeeze supply, and what he is watching in cattle, dairy and protein demand.
