  • Global Feel: Pessimistic. Risk: High.

USDA Acreage Report

  • Coming soon: Corn 94M acres (up), Soybeans 83M (down), Wheat 46M (down). Market will react to surprises.

Canola

  • Pros: Strong exports, tight stocks. Cons: Tariffs.

  • Price: ~$13.50 (625 futures). Stabilizing post-tariff shock.

  • Farm: Profitable but volatile. Sell old crop now; hold new crop.

  • 30-Day Tech: Range 575–638. Sideways (75%).

Wheat

  • Pros: Smaller U.S. acres, lower stocks. Cons: Black Sea supply.

  • Price: ~$8.25 (HRS). Solid market.

  • 30-Day Tech: Range 543–600. Sideways → Up (75%).

Barley & Corn

  • Pros: Ethanol (corn), weak CAD (barley). Cons: Big crops, low cattle numbers.

  • Price (Barley): $290/mt spot, $300/mt July. Flat outlook.

  • Farm: Barley = cash-flow crop. Sell old; target $310/mt new.

  • 30-Day Tech: Range 435–480. Sideways → Down (65%).

Tips

  • Old Crop: Clear canola, wheat, barley stocks.

  • New Crop: Wait for weather rallies.

Short and sweet—stay sharp for opportunities!
