Greg Johnson of TGM Total Grain Marketing opens the program with a market update, noting that farmers are waiting for corn to dry down naturally in the fields before harvest activity increases. He also discusses how grain markets are currently trading sideways as they await potential news from an upcoming meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi. The broadcast then features an excerpt from a National Association of Farm Broadcasting panel with Ethan Lane, Rob Brenneman, and Geoff Cooper. The panelists discuss their expectations for the Trump-Xi meeting, caution against the unintended consequences of potentially banning U.S. diesel exports, and advocate for free-market principles over government intervention in the agricultural supply chain. Finally, meteorologist Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. provides an update on global crop weather, highlighting upcoming rainfall that should benefit U.S. winter wheat regions, favorable early planting conditions in Brazil, and an extended period of heat and dryness in Australia driven by El Niño. Throughout the program, Gleason also appeals for listener financial support during the station's fall fund drive; 217-244-9455 or willgive.org to donate.\n01:17 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, TGM Total Grain Marketing\n09:34 Trump, Xi, Fuel, Free Trade, and Socialism\n20:51 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}
