Analyst Greg Johnson attributes recent market shifts to uncertainties surrounding Chinese soybean purchases, U.S. tariffs and a highly variable U.S. corn crop. A review of the USDA crop progress report indicates advanced development in the upper Midwest, while the Crop Protection Network currently assesses a low risk for tar spot disease across the region. Josh Linville warns of a fall phosphate fertilizer shortage, why farmers might forego applications, and what happens if demand surges unexpectedly. Meteorologist Drew Lerner concludes the broadcast by analyzing recent heat stress in the northwestern Corn Belt, noting that impending rainfall should prevent severe production losses.\n00:20 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, Total Grain Marketing\n09:36 Weekly Crop Progress Report State Anomalies\n11:43 Crop Risk Tool & Tar Spot Development\n14:58 Phosphate Fertilizer Squeeze with Josh Linville\n17:19 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather Inc.","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}
