Friday, July 26th, 2024- Conner Bridgman, Brady Huck and Owen Wagner

We saw a huge selloff in the grain markets on Friday as weather forecasts turned a little cooler and wetter than they had been earlier this week and that prompted traders to take some profit into the weekend. Plus, the Dow Jones was up sharply on Friday and livestock had a mixed tone. We discuss the end of the week in the trade and overall sentiment in farm country with Conner Bridgman and Brady Huck from Advance Trading Inc. and ATI Pro Media.

Also on today's show, we discuss the ag economy downturn more broadly and look at a new report from Rabobank titled Tightening the corn belt: How US farmers adjust input spending when commodity prices fall. Owen Wagner, Senior Analyst – Grains & Oilseeds with Rabobank joins us to explore how expenditures for major input categories – machinery, fertilizer, seed, crop protection, and land – are influenced by declining farm profitability.
