AOA Thursday 1-9-2025

On Thursday's AOA, we start the show with a look at the grain market moves ahead of Friday's USDA data dump and a rebound in livestock trade with Cory Bratland from AgMarket.net. In Segment Two, we discuss concerns about EPA's final risk evaluation for formaldehyde and potential tariff impacts on the fertilizer industry with Corey Rosenbusch, President and CEO of The Fertilizer Institute. In Segment Three, we talk with Dr. Jim Mintert who is now Professor Emeritus at Purdue University. Jim reflects a bit on his career as he moves into retirement but also still plans to assist with the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer. We also get the updated Barometer results for December. Then we close the show in Segment Four with a look at ag news headlines including an update on dock worker negotiations at East and Gulf Coast ports and we reflect on the life of former President Jimmy Carter.
