Monday, September 14th, 2026- John Heinberg, Mike Minor and Eric Snodgrass

Grain markets take a breather to start the week while cattle break out technically and hogs stay stuck. John Heinberg of Total Farm Marketing joins Market Talk to unpack the post-WASDE reaction in corn and soybeans, why funds are still holding record-large grain positions, a simple options strategy for locking in value ahead of harvest, the technical turn building in cattle, and why the dairy market still can't find its footing.Cattle futures start the week strong, hogs come under pressure, and the corn balance sheet gets a little tighter after Friday's WASDE. Mike Minor of Professional Ag Marketing joins Market Talk to break down the North-South cash cattle spread, why the rally may be running into resistance, what's dragging on hog prices, a new wrinkle in next year's corn acreage battle, and why this week's FOMC meeting matters as much as any crop report.Heavy rain is finally hitting the Western and Central Corn Belt, but Eric Snodgrass of Nutrien Ag Solutions says it's arriving two months too late to help this year's crop. In this week's weather update, Eric breaks down the flooding rain moving through Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, the historic heat baking the South, a record-quiet Atlantic hurricane season, and what El Nino means for South American planting and the U.S. fall and winter outlook.
