💵 The U.S. dollar could be an important piece of the grain market puzzle.

When the dollar strengthens, U.S. crops can become more expensive for international buyers. When it weakens, American exports may become more competitive.

But which crops are most sensitive to currency movements, and how much should farmers be paying attention?

Brian Grete breaks down the U.S. Dollar Index, export demand, and the connection between currency fluctuations and agricultural commodity prices.

📊 Are you watching the dollar as closely as you watch the grain markets?

🌧️ The bigger harvest problem may not be yield.

Brian Grete says excessive rainfall across the Corn Belt is causing widespread harvest delays — and while some crops are being lost in the field, quality loss may be an even bigger concern right now.

Sprouting, disease, toxins and kernel splitting can all take a toll on the crop and ultimately impact cash prices.

And with USDA’s final yield estimates not coming until January, the market could be dealing with these quality issues long before we get a final production number.

👉 How much more quality could be lost if the rain keeps coming?

🐄 “The tide has turned.”

That’s how Eric Relph, cattleman and risk management specialist at CommStock Investments, describes the current feeder cattle market.

But even with positive momentum, producers are facing a market environment with unprecedented volatility—and that makes knowing your numbers and managing risk more important than ever.

The right marketing decision could mean $300–$400 more per head. The wrong decision could put those gains at risk.

So what should cattle producers be watching as the market moves forward?
