Corn Holds Ground, Wheat Slips Again, and Cattle Stay Firm

Wednesday’s markets closed with a split tone across agriculture. Corn held its ground on steady demand, soybeans slipped again under export pressure, and wheat continued to trend lower as global supplies weighed on prices. In livestock, live cattle remained historically strong, feeder cattle pulled back, lean hogs moved lower, and Class III milk traded mostly sideways.

In this episode of Boots and Bushels, we break down Wednesday’s closing prices for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, rough rice, cotton, live cattle, feeder cattle, lean hogs, and Class III milk. We also cover Midwest weather concerns including strong winds and storm potential, along with the latest agricultural news producers are watching — including USDA’s $12 billion Farmer Bridge Payments program, acreage reporting deadlines, producer reaction to federal aid, USDA staffing changes, and John Deere production and job moves.
