This week was tough for anyone in agriculture to say the least! All the grain and livestock markets were sharply lower with the exception of feeder cattle which see come benefit from lower corn prices. With the increased tariffs, lack of any trade deal with China and the WASDE report showing increased global supplies the markets simply melted down. Weather the next few weeks will determine if all the projected corn acres get planted and late plantings can affect yield. The markets just have an overwhelming amount of negative news and psychology affecting the trade.
