Markets Wait for Direction as Corn & Beans Hold Steady | Daily Ag Markets

Grain markets ended the session steady but undecided, with corn and soybeans holding their ground while traders wait for clearer demand signals. Wheat continues to work toward stability, and livestock markets finished mixed as near-term pressure meets longer-term supply tightness.

In today’s Boots and Bushels episode, we break down closing prices for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, cotton, live cattle, feeder cattle, and Class III milk, take a look at the weather patterns across the Midwest, Plains, Delta, and California, and spend extra time on the ag news shaping decisions heading into the new year — including biofuel policy delays, USDA staffing challenges, uneven export demand, and ongoing pressure on farm margins.

This show is built for farmers, ranchers, and ag professionals who want a clear, steady read on the markets that feed America — without hype, noise, or wasted time.
