Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net reviews recent market rallies and advises producers to utilize incremental risk management strategies, while noting that global wheat markets are reacting strongly to escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions. Agricultural economist Scott Irwin discusses the Renewable Fuel Standard and the potential economic fallout if the Trump administration grants more Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs) for 2025. Irwin warns that reversing biomass-based diesel mandates would severely cut soybean oil usage, potentially costing soybean producers billions of dollars. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather forecasts a historic, late-season heat wave across the Corn Belt, warning that an impending string of days with temperatures in the 90s will challenge late-stage grain fill and complicate analysts' final yield expectations. The broadcast concludes by highlighting upcoming *farmdoc* webinars and the *Commodity Week* program.\n02:08 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net\n09:47 SREs and the Price of Soybeans\n17:09 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net","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}
