  The Bull Case Is Getting Stronger. Now Comes the Hard Part

  Aug 18, 202633 min

  The grain markets are starting to look very different from the last two years. Strong demand is no longer being comfortably matched by expectations for another near-perfect crop, and that shift is bringing opportunities back into the conversation that producers haven't had much reason to consider lately. Jon Prischmann and Ryan Tungseth break down why re-owning bushels is getting interesting again, why they're cautiously bullish on corn and soybeans, and why August may still be the wrong time to simply chase a market higher. They dig into limited-risk ways to participate in upside, the unusual structure of corn spreads, and why upcoming crop reports could matter considerably more this year. They also look at opportunities developing in cattle and wheat spreads, and explain why cutting through the noise may be just as important as picking the right strategy in a rapidly changing market.

  The Market Just Changed: Demand Takes Control

  Aug 13, 20269 min

  The grain market may be entering a new phase. Jon and Ryan break down the latest USDA report and why strong production numbers weren't enough to pressure corn, soybeans, and wheat the way many expected. The key shift is demand. After months of talking about burdensome supplies, the market is showing signs that demand is beginning to chew through those inventories—and that could change how producers approach marketing decisions in the months ahead. Jon and Ryan discuss what the post-report reaction is telling us about corn, why soybeans continue to show resilience, and how geopolitical uncertainty could add another layer of volatility to wheat. They also look at the risks of chasing a rally heading toward harvest and the strategies that could become more useful if pullbacks create opportunities to re-own grain. Plus, the conversation turns to crude oil, the Dow, and a potentially changing trend in cattle. The takeaway: this may be a more opportunity-rich market, but discipline still matters. Stay flexible, manage risk, and don't let a bullish move turn into an excuse to get greedy.

  The Market Is Changing. Your Plan Should Too.

  Aug 11, 202635 min

  The last two years taught producers some painful lessons—but following those lessons blindly could create a whole new set of mistakes. Jon Prischmann and Ryan Tungseth explain why this year's combination of crop uncertainty, global conflict, energy markets, and shifting demand deserves a different marketing plan. They dig into why re-owning sold bushels could become an important strategy, how basis and spreads can tell you more than arguing over USDA numbers, and why wheat may finally have a more interesting setup. Plus, cattle are beginning to show warning signs after an incredible multi-year bull market, energy could become a bigger problem for the broader economy, and Jon has his eye on a new long-term market: copper.

  When markets become uncertain, most producers start looking for predictions. Jon Prischmann believes they're asking the wrong question.
