Steady Markets and a Winter Chill: Your Boots & Bushels Morning Rundown

In today’s Boots & Bushels morning rundown, we’re talking steady markets and a chilly winter start. Corn and soybeans inched a little higher, wheat picked up a bit of strength, and cattle held firm as packers stayed tight on supply. Hogs were steady, milk slipped just a touch, and cotton eased lower. We also walk through today’s cold, crunchy weather across the Midwest and Plains, plus mild-but-damp conditions in the Delta and Southeast. And in ag news, we break down USDA export updates, new farm support announcements, and global grain tensions shaping the markets.

If you’re looking for a calm, clear, everyday explanation of what’s happening in the crop markets, livestock markets, dairy prices, and farm news — this is your morning stop.
