Friday, August 22nd, 2025- DuWayne Bosse, Ted Seifried and Brian Ternus

Friday wrapped up a fairly busy week of news for agriculture as EPA announced a decision on small refinery exemptions, that was mostly a non-factor in Friday's grain trade. We also saw new yield estimates out from this week's Midwest Crop Tour that are a bit lower than USDA. And......cattle continued to impress into the weekend. DuWayne Bosse with Bolt Marketing joins us to discuss and close out the week of trade. Find more online by visiting https://www.boltmarketingllc.com. Also, it has been a major talking point on social media and throughout the grain markets this week.....what did scouts see on the Midwest Crop Tour? Is the massive crop being forecast actually out there? Ted Seifred with Zaner Ag Hedge joins us to share his thoughts on what he saw during his time on the western leg of the tour for 2025.

Brian Ternus, LG Seeds agronomist in Minnesota, wants farmers to consider how they manage corn rootworm when they make their seed selections for the 2026 crop season. We also discuss extended diapause of northern corn rootworm and get tips on management. More at https://www.lgseeds.com.
