Monday, August 24th, 2026- Mike Minor, Eric Snodgrass and John Heinberg

Corn closed higher for a fourth straight session on Monday while soybeans were under pressure. Meantime, the cattle complex was under heavy pressure to start the week. We break down the markets with Mike Minor from Professional Ag Marketing and John Heinberg from Total Farm Marketing on today's show. And, Eric Snodgrass, Senior Science Fellow and Principal Atmospheric Scientist at Nutrien Ag Solutions, joins Market Talk for his weekly weather update. This week: what stagnant July winds may have meant for corn pollination and the disappointing Pro Farmer Crop Tour results, why this year's El Nino is already outpacing 1997 and 2015, what a quiet Atlantic hurricane season means for the flash drought in Texas, how South America's planting calendar could get pushed back two to three weeks, and why Europe's broken drought is bringing flooding rain instead of relief.
