Successful Farming Daily, May 25, 2026

Listen to the SF Daily podcast for today, May 25, 2026, with host Lorrie Boyer. These quick and informative episodes cover the commodity markets, weather, and the big things happening in agriculture each morning.

Analysts have trimmed yield outlooks for corn and soybeans, but it's still early for significant adjustments. Mexico bought nearly 494,000 metric tons of corn, and the USDA reported a 252,000-ton purchase. Cattle numbers in large feedlots were up 2% year-over-year, with placements increasing by 6%. Weather forecasts predict active conditions across the US. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
