#775 - Corn Acres, Planting Delays & Old Crop Marketing Strategy - Weekly Market Outlook: Apr 27 - May 1

Planting season is moving forward, but late April and early May are bringing plenty of questions for corn, soybeans, and grain marketing decisions. In this Weekly Market Outlook from The Ag View Pitch, we break down where acreage may still shift, how planting progress differs across the Corn Belt, and what farmers should be watching as the market reacts to weather, demand, and upcoming USDA reports.This episode covers corn acreage expectations, possible soybean acreage shifts, delayed planting conditions in parts of the Upper Midwest, and why large acreage changes may be less likely as southern crops continue moving ahead. We also discuss new crop marketing strategy, old crop grain decisions, storage management, cash flow needs, and why many producers may want to have bins cleaned out by the Fourth of July.On the market side, the conversation looks at strong corn export demand, fund positioning, drought concerns, soybean crush margins, biofuel demand, wheat crop conditions in Kansas, and the upcoming May USDA WASDE report. If you are a farmer trying to manage old crop sales, new crop pricing opportunities, planting risk, or grain storage decisions, this episode provides a practical look at the week ahead.
