Grain markets are controlled by people. They put their pants on one leg at a time like anyone else. Be smarter than them.

The other day a farmer buddy of mine called up and asked what Sec Brooke Rollins's career background was, because he was sure he'd heard her say she had an ag background. I told him, "I don't know but I think you're right." So I looked it up and was disappointed in lack of ag related career positions. She does have an ag degree though. Here's her background:
• Education:
• Bachelor of Science in agricultural development with honors from Texas A&M University, where she was the first female student body president.
• Juris Doctor (J.D.) with honors from the University of Texas School of Law.
• Family: Resides in Fort Worth, Texas, with her husband, Mark, and their four children.
Career & Political Roles
• Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF): Served as President and CEO of the conservative state-level think tank for 15 years (2003–2018).
• Texas State Government: Worked as policy director and deputy general counsel for Texas Governor Rick Perry.
• First Trump Administration (2018–2021):
• Served in the White House as Director of the Office of American Innovation (2018–2020).
• Served as Assistant to the President for Strategic Initiatives and acting director of the Domestic Policy Council (2020–2021).
• America First Policy Institute (AFPI): Co-founded the conservative think tank in 2021 and served as its President and CEO.
• U.S. Secretary of Agriculture: Nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 13, 2025, by a 72–28 vote, becoming the 33rd Secretary of Agriculture.
I don't care if you're a die hard or not. The evidence is undeniable. He single handedly caused a blue wave while he had control of congress, and didn't follow through on any of his promises.... Which in large part is why he lost the midterms.

New ECMWF seasonal guidance released today maintains drier risks across central Brazil while S. Brazil is expected to maintain very wet conditions over the next couple of months. Full analysis and commentary to our South American Reports! #agwx
Anybody else feel like the USA is a social experiment that showed democracy and liberty are sustainable up until a population gets too large? At that point the government has to take on so much power that people no longer control the government, but the gov now controls them.
My opinion on StoneX's yield estimates in general: They're high on both as usual. They're obscenely high on corn but are likely in the right direction for soybeans. Corn yields across the midwest are down on average atleast 5% from yield reports vs last year, however soybean yields are strong across the midwest.

Crazy jet crash near Mar-a-lago today. A Learjet 60 with nine people aboard crashed around 12:50 p.m. ET today near Military Trail and 10th Avenue North in Greenacres, Palm Beach County. It was en route from Austin, TX, to the Bahamas. The site is several miles from Mar-a-Lago. FAA and NTSB are investigating; casualties unconfirmed so far.
