USDA may have reported corn yields would drop 5 bu./acre this season but how likely is that really? Bauer shares his thoughts. What about beans? He digs into that too.

African swine fever (ASF) became public three years ago in China. While some would question the messaging currently coming out of China, the fact of the matter is that China will indeed achieve pre-ASF status. As a result, U.S. pork exports could be impacted. Fortunately, though, for the U.S. market, as exports to China have softened, so have U.S. slaughter trends. What’s ahead? Bauer explains.

It was another record-breaking week in the hog markets, and although the underlying fundamentals haven't changed much, the emotion moneyflow and trading volumes certainly have. Bauer explains that several futures markets encountered dynamic corrections this week, although the cash markets have not.

In what shouldn’t have been any surprise, the hog market made a significant correction this week. As Bauer explains, it was not about China’s buying, it was about the U.S. market making a much-needed adjustment.

Prices reacted to demand this past week as well as anticipated tighter supply expected this coming fall and winter from PRRS and PEDv impacts.

Supply chain disruptions are feared with the pending reduction of line speeds at slaughter plants, which has left wholesalers and retailers competing for available supplies to prepare for the potential of less pork in the coming weeks and months. The result was an increase in the pork cutout this week to a seven-week high.
