Jul 24 | Closing Market Report

cmr260724 The July 24, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive overview of current agricultural commodities and weather forecasts. Market analyst Dan Basse outlines a bullish, demand-driven outlook for corn and soybeans, citing European droughts, Black Sea conflicts, and expanding US biofuel consumption, while advising producers to utilize marketing tools that maintain upside potential. Following the market analysis, meteorologist Eric Snodgrass details a stark regional divide in crop conditions, noting that severe heat and dryness are heavily stressing the Western Corn Belt while eastern regions fare much better. Snodgrass also cautions that a historic, rapidly intensifying El Niño could lead to a wet, difficult autumn harvest. 01:22 Ag Markets with Dan Basse, AgResource Company 09:41 Ag Weather with Eric Snodgrass, Nutrien Ag Solutions ★ Support this podcast ★ (https://willpledge.org)
