About this episode

The episode discusses the potential for a harvest rally in the grain market, focusing on corn and soybean producers amid strong demand and tight stocks.

Chris Barron and Jeff Fichtelman break down why even a modest yield reduction could significantly tighten supplies, when a harvest-driven rally could develop, and why farmers should have firm offers ready before optimism takes over. They also discuss old-crop corn still weighing on the market, regional harvest basis opportunities, China’s continued soybean buying, lower nitrogen prices, and renewed uncertainty surrounding Russia and Ukraine. Could corn and soybeans get another meaningful rally, and how should farmers position themselves without getting greedy?
