The grain market was mostly lower for week with the planting progress showing a little improvement however the threat of tariffs imposed on trade with Mexico plus dryer forecasts had an impact on the market.
The livestock sector was marginally higher for the week although the cattle gave up a lot of ground in late trade on Friday. Much uncertainty remains about the tariffs that are looming over trade with Mexico. On the one hand it will limit exports of meat but also could decrease feeder cattle coming into the United States. The hog trade was soft as plentiful supplies are worrisome.
