In this week’s Global Dairy Trade update, prices edged higher by 1.5% overall, with gains in skim milk powder (+2.9%), whole milk powder (+2.0%), and mozzarella (+4.2%) helping offset declines in cheddar (-3.9%) and butter (-3.1%). Jon Spainhour breaks down why rising European mozzarella prices could begin reopening the door for US cheese exports, though not quite enough yet to drive large-scale movement. On the powder side, international buyers continue favoring discounted product from Europe and New Zealand over higher-priced US supply, particularly in key regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia. With seasonal supply volumes at their lowest and China largely absent from the market, even modest buying activity is having an outsized impact on price direction. The result: a market showing early signs of strength, but still searching for conviction.

Global Dairy Trade prices dropped 2.7% in the latest auction, marking a second consecutive decline. While cheese held relatively steady and skim milk powder posted modest gains, sharp losses in butter and AMF weighed heavily on the market. A major story continues to unfold in powder markets.

Meanwhile, shifting regional demand, low auction volumes, and rising global milk supply—especially out of Europe and New Zealand—are shaping near-term price direction. Cody Koster and John Spainhour break down the latest GDT results, regional buying trends, and what to watch as global dairy markets search for balance._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

The latest Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction came in essentially unchanged after five consecutive gains, but the underlying story tells a more nuanced tale.

In this episode of GDT Tuesday, Cody and Jon break down a delayed but impactful Global Dairy Trade auction that delivered a 6.7% overall gain. With tight supply and strong buyer interest, mozzarella, butter, and powders all posted solid increases. The biggest story: skim milk powder surged nearly 10%, highlighting the growing price gap between U.S. and global markets. The hosts explore how rising U.S. nonfat prices are influencing international trade, buyer behavior, and future competitiveness._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

Global Dairy Trade prices moved higher for the second auction in a row, with the overall index up 1.5%. In this episode of GDT Review, Ever.Ag’s Cody Koster and Jon Spainhour break down the key movers—from strong gains in AMF and butter to softness in cheese prices—and what those signals mean for US competitiveness in global export markets.The conversation digs into price spreads between the US, EU, and New Zealand, the outsized impact of Middle Eastern buying amid seasonally declining volumes, and why rising prices may be more about short-term bounces than a true shift in fundamentals. With global milk production still strong across the major dairy exporters, the team expects supply to remain the defining force shaping dairy markets heading into February._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

The Global Dairy Trade auction kicked off 2026 with a long-awaited rebound, posting a 6.3% aggregate gain from the last event — the first higher auction in ten events. In this episode, Cody Koster and John Spainhour break down where the strength showed up.Whole milk powder stole the show with a 7.8% surge, snapping a multi-month slide, while skim milk powder climbed 5.5%, keeping U.S. nonfat prices at a global premium. Butter and AMF also rebounded after four consecutive declines, helping lift overall sentiment.The discussion dives into global price relationships, futures expectations versus reality, and why renewed buying interest — potentially from China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East — may be emerging as GDT offer volumes begin to ease. Is this a turning point, or simply a bounce in a pattern of prolonged weakness?Tune in for a clear, data-driven breakdown of what changed — and what to watch heading into the next auction._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

In this special year-end episode of The Grain Feed, the Ever.Ag team wraps up 2025 with a look at where grain, feed, and dairy markets stand heading into the holidays—and what to watch as we turn the calendar to 2026.Jim Matthews is joined by Jake Kingsley and Katie Burgess to break down a recovery in corn, continued pressure in soybeans and meal, and emerging feed-buying opportunities amid weather disruptions and South American crop uncertainty. On the dairy side, Katie walks through recent milk market volatility, the outlook for supply growth, and why exports and seasonal demand—from holiday baking to fast-food promotions—will be critical in the months ahead.The team also discusses upcoming January data risks, including USDA reports, South American weather, acreage expectations, and managed money positioning—before signing off on the final Grain Feed episode in its current form, with a preview of what’s coming next from Ever.Ag Media.Thank you for listening, and happy holidays from The Grain Feed.-Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

The final Global Dairy Trade auction of 2025 closed with another broad-based pullback, as the GDT index fell roughly 4.5%—marking the ninth consecutive lower auction. While mozzarella stood out with a nearly 7% gain and cheddar finished unchanged, losses in whole milk powder, skim milk powder, butter, and AMF weighed heavily on the overall result.In this episode, Cody Koster and John Spainhower break down why today’s auction was “lower, but not as bad as expected” in some categories, how futures stacked up against reality, and what surprised markets most—particularly the downside move in skim milk powder. They also dig into regional buying behavior, including China’s return to more typical volumes and the noticeable pullback from Southeast Asia and the Middle East.The conversation wraps with a big-picture look at the global dairy landscape, where expanding milk production across the U.S., EU, New Zealand, and South America continues to pressure prices—despite growing global cheese demand. With supply firmly in the driver’s seat, the team discusses what it may take to rebalance markets as we head into 2026._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

In the final Parlor to Plate episode of the year—and of this series—host Kathleen Wolfley is joined by a powerhouse panel from Ever.Ag Financial Services to break down the latest global and domestic dairy market signals. The team digs into another lower Global Dairy Trade auction, highlighting continued pressure on whole milk powder, softer global pricing tied to ample supply, and a standout move higher in mozzarella.The conversation then turns to U.S. milk production, where panelists discuss why lower prices haven’t yet triggered meaningful culling, how Class III and Class IV dynamics are shaping producer behavior, and what it may take for supply to finally respond. On the feed side, the group unpacks a well-supplied corn balance sheet, muted feed-cost risk heading into 2026, and what kind of catalyst it would take to meaningfully move grain markets.With insights on risk management, margins, and the road ahead, this episode offers a timely close to the year—and a preview of what’s to come in Ever.Ag’s evolving podcast lineup in 2026._🎧 Join the Ever.Ag Insights team for data-driven perspective and expert commentary connecting dairy markets from parlor to plate.DisclaimerTRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

This week on The Grain Feed, Jim, Jake, and Verl break down a deceptively quiet December WASDE that still sent ripples through corn, soybean, and wheat markets. After an early brawl over hard red vs. soft red winter wheat, the team walks through crop conditions, dormancy fundamentals, and why Kansas City wheat continues to command protein premiums.With corn exports running hot, the group discusses how strong global demand is propping up prices despite a hefty 2-billion-bushel balance sheet. Soybeans, meanwhile, continue their descent as China’s anticipated buying program fails to materialize—raising real questions about whether USDA will be forced to cut export projections in the January report.Jake also delivers a deep dive into protein and soybean meal, exploring crush margins, renewable diesel policy uncertainty, and how future EPA mandates could shift domestic oil and feed values.Packed with market insights and weather chatter, this episode gives producers a grounded, practical view of what’s moving grain markets heading into 2026.-Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

This week on Parlor to Plate, host Katie Burgess sits down with Brian Fletcher, Zach Bowers, and Natalie McCarty for a timely breakdown of dairy and grainmarkets as we head into the final stretch of 2025. With spot cheddar falling to $1.35/lb — its lowest level since July 2023 — the team unpacks how global milk production, expanding U.S. cheese capacity, and sharply discounted European mozzarella have shaped today’s downtrend.From the producer perspective, Zach explains why Class III milk checks still feel relatively insulated, why Class IV regions may feel the squeeze sooner, and why early-2026 hedging looks more like cheap insurance than a profit play.Natalie rounds out the conversation with a look at grain and protein inputs, including expectations for the December WASDE, softer soybean and meal markets, and a massive Canadian canola crop that is adding welcome relief to producer feed costs.If you manage dairy price risk—or just want to understand the forces moving milk, cheese, and feed markets—this episode offers clear, actionable insight heading into 2026._🎧 Join the Ever.Ag Insights team for data-driven perspective and expert commentary connecting dairy markets from parlor to plate.DisclaimerTRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

This week on The Grain Feed, Jim Matthews and Jake Kingsley break down a rare move: corn taking the lead lower as markets brace for next Tuesday’s WASDE report. The team digs into strong U.S. export demand; the likelihood of yield cuts; and where USDA may pull accounting levers to soften the balance-sheet impact.They also cover South America’s near-ideal weather and what record Brazilian and Argentine production could mean for futures. In the protein space, soybean meal continues to ease—off more than $20/ton from recent highs—raising opportunities for producers to extend coverage before China makes a bigger splash in the market or policy shifts disrupt veg-oil dynamics.--Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

GDT posted its eighth consecutive decline this week, driven by heavy global milk supplies and weaker demand signals. Skim milk powder underperformed expectations at –1.7%, while whole milk powder fell 2.5% but beat futures-implied fears. Cheddar was the lone standout, jumping 7.2% on limited New Zealand volume and what appears to be highly targeted Middle East buying. Butter, however, stole the spotlight—dropping 12.2% and extending a decline now totaling more than 37% from recent highs.Regionally, China bought more than last year but less than the previous auction, Southeast Asia stepped back, and the Middle East showed strong activity—likely influencing cheese strength. Across the board, surging milk production in the U.S., Europe, New Zealand, and South America continues to weigh on prices, with supply outpacing demand and tightening U.S. export competitiveness._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

This week on The Grain Feed, Jim, Jake, and first-timer Owen break down a surprisingly quiet Thanksgiving-week marketplace on the grain side—while the cattle complex delivers anything but calm. The team unpacks the limit-down reaction to Tyson’s closure of its Lexington beef plant, the ripple effects of Argentine and Brazilian trade headlines, and ongoing uncertainty around Mexico’s feeder-cattle border restrictions.On the grain side, harvest is wrapped, South American planting looks strong, government data is still catching up, and markets appear stuck in a seasonal sideways grind. The crew also looks ahead to December WASDE, managed-money positioning, and what producers should consider with corn risk as futures return toward seasonal lows.--Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

Jim Matthews is joined by Jake Kingsley and Katie Burgess for a mid-November rundown of grain and dairy markets as both sectors trend red heading into the holiday stretch. The team breaks down bearish signals from the latest WASDE report, softening corn and soybean futures, sluggish export activity, and a dairy complex under pressure as cow numbers climb to multi-decade highs. They also discuss holiday demand patterns, butter promotions, managed money flows, and how expanding milk supply could shape early 2026 risk strategies._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

This week’s Global Dairy Trade auction finished 2.4% lower, with the biggest pressure coming from fats: AMF fell 5% and butter dropped 7.6%, both well below expectations. Whole milk powder and skim landed close to forecasts, while mozzarella slipped below $1.50 and cheddar continued its gradual decline. Cody Koster and Jon Spainhour also highlight notable regional shifts, including stronger buying from the Middle East and Africa, softer demand from Southeast Asia, and China maintaining steady but seasonally slower activity. Jon closes by explaining why auctions are moving faster, with fewer rounds and shorter intervals than usual_Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

In this Halloween-week episode of Parlor to Plate from Ever.Ag Insights, the team breaks down a market full of “tricks and treats.” A surprise U.S.–China trade framework pushes grain futures higher to start the week, even as details remain thin and optimism cautious. On the cattle side, political pressure to cool beef prices — including expanded import conversations with Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico — has knocked both live cattle and feeders sharply lower. Meanwhile, whey prices continue to climb on booming high-protein demand, and the cheese market may be setting up for a post-holiday slide as U.S. prices outrun global competition.Hosted by Katie Burgess with Britt O’Connell, Matt Tranel, and John Spainhour.DisclaimerTRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

View the video version of this episode here.With USDA reports still offline during the government shutdown, grain markets are trading without the usual data backdrop — even as harvest barrels toward the finish line.This week on The Grain Feed, Jim Matthews and Jake Kingsley talk through what a “no-report October” means for basis, board behavior, and near-term risk decisions as corn moves past 60% harvested and soybeans approach three-quarters complete. They unpack why basis pressure may soon fade, how soymeal continues to find long-term support near $280, and how China-linked trade headlines and Argentina sales are propping up the soy complex. The conversation closes with a look ahead to early 2026 positioning and why locking in coverage near the bottom of the range may make sense before harvest tailwinds disappear.--Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

In this week’s episode of Parlor to Plate from Ever.Ag Insights, the panel reacts to a market running without USDA reports while global milk output continues to climb. GDT weakness, heavy supply, and muted demand set a bearish tone for early 2025. Producers remain cautious — lower feed costs and strong beef revenue help margins for now, but recent government pressure on beef pricing is rattling cattle futures. In feed, harvest advances with tight ranges in corn and beans, while soybean meal bounces on China trade optimism.Hosted by Kathleen Wolfley with Kevin Peterson, Zach Bowers, and Jake Kingsley..--Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

In this episode of Parlor to Plate, from Ever.Ag Insights, the team takes stock of late-September market dynamics across cheese, butter, grains, and feed. Dairy markets remain under pressure, but signs of demand resilience and shifting herd dynamics could alter the outlook ahead. Butter appears to have found a floor, while cheese continues to wrestle with tight ranges and export competitiveness. In the grain complex, seasonal patterns and policy developments may shape the next move as harvest gets underway and protein markets look for direction. With so much bearish sentiment across dairy and grain markets, could we already be near a turning point?Join host Erica Maedke with guests Kevin Peterson, Zach Bowers, and Natalie McCarty for a lively discussion.--Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

In this episode of Parlor to Plate, from Ever.Ag Insights, the team takes stock of late-September market dynamics across cheese, butter, grains, and feed. Milk production is surging, with the national herd at its largest since 1993 and July output in California revised sharply higher, keeping pressure on milk futures into 2026. Butter has slipped to its lowest levels since 2021, as strong milk components and ample cream supplies weigh on prices despite solid exports. Internationally, Europe’s milk output is running hot, resulting in lower cheese and powder prices that challenge U.S. export competitiveness. In the fields, harvest is underway with mixed results—corn and soybeans are showing decent but inconsistent yields, keeping prices rangebound yet still supportive of relatively low feed costs for the year ahead. Join host Katie Burgess and panelists Tiffany LaMendola, Jon Spainhour, and Britt O’Connell for a lively discussion.--Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.
