“There’s a lot of risk priced into this price right now… Everybody needs to be very, very careful with this one. ” On this episode of The High Ground, powered by Premier Companies, Aaron Bledsoe is back in the podcast studio with hosts Sal Sama and Ryan Priest. Aaron works for Premier Companies as the grain merchandiser for Premier Companies and as such, he’s able to provide a unique look into the most recent USDA report.
Ryan, Sal, and Aaron discuss the production and yield estimates, how the crop in Illinois and Iowa affect the market, the various uses for corn domestically, and why most of our beans are exported. Aaron will also share why we need to be particularly careful with our corn this year, what’s happening with barge freight, and what’s happening with average farm prices. To throw another curve ball into things, Aaron will share how the bird flu is putting pressure on the market. You’re going to want to grab a pen and paper for this one!
