Thursday, July 31st, 2025- Bryan Doherty, Joe Kooima, Chad Berghoefer

We saw heavy selling in the cattle futures to close out Thursday and the month of July while the grain markets were a mixed bag with corn up slightly and soybean oil under pressure? Are trade and tariff concerns adding additional weight to markets that already feel overly bearish? Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss on today's show. More at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com. The cattle market kicked off the week facing month-end pressure, lingering uncertainty around Brazil tariffs, and the impact of widespread rains that are helping pasture conditions and encouraging more heifer and cow retention. Joining us this week for Cattle Chatter with Susan Littlefield is Joe Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek. Traders are still digesting last week's reports, which continue to shape early-week market tone. The bright spot? Cash trade is stronger once again—and beef consumption is up 4% year over year, a positive sign for long-term demand. Also today, Corteva Agriscience, along with Bunge Chevron Ag Renewables LLC, launched a winter canola program across the Mid-South U.S. two years ago to provide farmers an alternative for winter crop rotation. And as winter canola harvest wraps up across this year, farmers are exceeding yield expectations for a second year with an average yield of 53 bu/A with Pioneer® brand winter canola hybrids. Chad Berghoefer, Corteva Agriscience Global Product Director, Biofuels, joins Jesse Allen to share an update on the winter canola program.
