Market analyst Jerry Gulke discusses the recent uptrend in corn and soybean prices, advising producers on risk management and hedging strategies to navigate changing market fundamentals. In agricultural news, a report by Stephanie Hoff highlights how the EPA's increased renewable volume obligations are successfully boosting biodiesel production and creating jobs. Driven by this biofuel policy, ADM also announced investments to expand its North American oilseed crush capacity across several states. Finally, meteorologist Mark Russo provides a weather update, noting beneficial widespread rains and moderate temperatures across the U.S. Midwest. However, he warns of a severe crop-damaging drought in Western Europe, expanding dryness in Southeast Asia, and the potential for a wet U.S. fall harvest fueled by a rapidly strengthening super El Niño.\n00:58 Ag Markets with Jerry Gulke, Gulke Group\n09:20 Higher Renewable Volume Obligations Fuel Industry Growth\n14:19 ADM Investing in Crush Capacity\n15:45 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream Analytics","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_tUWShKuX2ouIKrrj4GxsDS8Pye7NpdcMubhtuRhL1g/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI2OTk5LzE2NDEz/OTU1NjMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
