Corn Hedging Just Got Harder – Now What?

Corn hedging strategies that worked last year are proving much more difficult in 2025. Rising costs, market volatility, and uncertainty surrounding tariffs and the upcoming USDA acreage report are making decision-making more complex. In this episode, Jon Prischman and Ryan Tungseth break down the challenges of hedging at current price levels, the potential impact of the April 2 tariff deadline, and what early planting conditions suggest for the season ahead. They also discuss why soybeans may have more upside than many expect and examine the cattle market's continued strength as consumer demand remains high.
