2/ Payment rates are estimated to hit their maximum in 20% of counties for #corn and 23% for #soybeans. Virtually all wheat yields have been released. #Wheat’s marketing year average price is also finalized and well below the 2025 benchmark price.

1/ Current estimates for 2025 marketing year average prices, coupled with the initial release of about 70% of final county yields, suggest that ARC-CO payments will be triggered in just over half of counties for #corn and nearly half for #soybeans.

Earlier this week @ClintonReports and I had a fascinating "Unscripted" interview with Derrell Peel on the current cattle market. Not only did we cover New World Screwworm and the cattle flow story behind it, but also why the timeline to rebuild this cattle herd continues to be pushed back.
But he also pointed out the misconceptions many have about the cattle market in Mexico. He says:
- When Mexico couldn’t export roughly 1.1 to 1.2 million head of cattle a year, those animals didn’t disappear. they moved into Mexico’s feedlot and packing system.
- But that shift also changed long-running cattle flows across the region. For decades, cattle have moved north from Central America into southern Mexico, helping “backfill” the Mexican beef industry as domestic demand grew.
- Peel says those same cross-border cattle movements (and brining cattle up from Central America, some illegally) is part of how screwworm originally found its way back into Mexico.

What should be planted first: soybeans or corn? It depends on conditions, according to @OSU_HortCropSci #SoyResearch led by @StepUpSoy that compared the crops planted side-by-side over a wide date range, and was funded in part by @Ohiosoycouncil. #USSoy bit.ly/4pqtiXl
