E65: Harvest in Focus in August WASDE
Show Notes

The August WASDE dropped Thursday, August 12th, and proved to be one of the more surprising reports in recent months.  DTN’s Todd Hultman joins us today to unpack some bullish wheat and corn numbers and discuss how weather around the world continues to drive markets. We’ll talk more about shifting demand, the uncertainty in USDA predictions as harvest approaches, and what factors from harvest wetness to the global spread of the delta variant might mean for grains. Then we’ll discuss livestock market impacts, trends in soybean crush, and the looming price increases for shipping.
