#780 - Critical June Marketing Decisions for Corn & Soybeans - Weekly Market Outlook: May 26-29

This week on The Ag View Pitch, we break down the key grain market factors farmers need to watch heading into the end of May and early June. With planting mostly wrapped up, the focus shifts to corn and soybean crop conditions, weather forecasts, old crop decisions, new crop pricing opportunities, basis, inflation, fertilizer costs, crude oil, and ongoing volatility tied to Iran and global headlines.Joe Vaclavik joins the conversation to discuss why the next few weeks matter for corn and soybean marketing, especially for old crop bushels and new crop bushels without storage. We also talk through seasonal market tendencies, why mid-June is an important decision window, how basis differs across regions, and why having target orders working may help producers stay disciplined during a busy spraying and side-dressing season.For farmers trying to manage risk, protect margins, and make better grain marketing decisions, this episode focuses on practical takeaways for the 2026 crop year.Topics include corn markets, soybean markets, wheat influence, grain basis, old crop corn, new crop corn, fertilizer costs, inflation, crude oil volatility, weather outlooks, crop conditions, and farm marketing strategy.
