Grain markets softened today as corn, soybeans, and wheat all finished lower, while livestock markets continued to show strength. Live cattle and lean hogs both moved higher, and crude oil firmed again — a potential warning sign for rising spring input costs.
In today’s Boots & Bushels episode, we break down:
• Corn, soybean, and wheat futures settlements
• Live cattle and lean hog market moves
• Crude oil’s impact on agriculture
• Cold weather stress across the Midwest and Plains
• Biofuels policy, farmland ownership, and farm profitability news
Boots & Bushels is your daily look at the markets that feed America, covering agricultural markets, livestock, weather, and farm news in a clear, no-hype format for producers.
