In this episode of Ag Smarter: The Dairy Feed, Jim Matthews and Kathleen Wolfley break down the latest USDA planting intentions and quarterly stocks reports—and what they signal for the months ahead. Corn acres came in higher than expected, but markets are still searching for direction as global tensions, energy volatility, and fertilizer uncertainty cloud the outlook.
From early planting progress in the Midwest to shifting dynamics in crude oil and input costs, the conversation highlights the key forces shaping grain markets right now—and how those ripple into dairy margins.
Plus, a quick look at dairy fundamentals: steady cheese, firm powder, and a timely reminder for producers to think about risk management while favorable pricing opportunities are still on the table.
Clear, timely insight on what’s moving, why it matters, and what it means for your operation.
