Description

In this week’s Market Outlook, Andy Hruby sits down with Peter Meyer to discuss how the ongoing government shutdown is adding volatility and uncertainty to grain markets. They cover the lack of USDA data, stalled Senate Ag Committee meetings, and how these factors are leaving fund traders hesitant to act. The conversation explores the long-term effects of government payments, how subsidies have inflated input costs, and why rising costs of production may keep farm margins tight for years to come. They also touch on fund positioning in corn and soybeans, the potential impact of Chinese demand, and what growers should consider when making basis decisions heading into 2026.
