About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of crop prices and the profitability of cattle, questioning if these trends will continue.

Depending on where you live, the best price you may have been able to get to forward contract this year’s corn crop for harvest delivery is about $4. Is that as good as it will get? Is it a similar story for soybeans? Cattle have been profitable, but is it a trend that lasts through 2026 and beyond?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
