We closed out the week of market trade with mixed action in grains on Friday as soybeans bounced a bit to end the week. Livestock trade found more decent support with cattle leading ahead of the cattle on feed report. The dollar surged again and it was a wild week in the dairy markets. Naomi Blohm from Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss the week in the markets and managing your risk ahead of the holiday season in this episode. More at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com.

It was a fairly quiet end of the week in what has been a news headline driven market trade in grains all week long. We take a broad look at the grain and livestock markets, the overall ag economy, whether or not the market is trying to buy more corn acres in 2025 and much more with Chad Hart, Economist at Iowa State University, on today's program.

Also, we head back to the 2024 NAFB Convention and hear from Brevant Retail Sales Agronomist Tyler Stastny from Nebraska on how harvest wrapped up and thoughts looking ahead to 2025.

It's a quiet day in the markets overall on Friday with row crops mixed to higher, wheat under pressure, crude oil higher and livestock trading higher as well. We discuss the end of the week trade action with Arlan Suderman from StoneX.
