Sep 29 | Closing Market Report

The September 29, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive update on commodity markets, agricultural policy, and weather. Market analyst Naomi Blohm discusses recent grain trading trends, upcoming USDA reports, and the market impact of lagging crop maturity and harvest delays. The program highlights several updates from Washington, D.C., including the rollout of a new digital acreage reporting system by the Farm Service Agency, the ongoing partisan stall of the new farm bill in the Senate, and legislative efforts to secure permanent year-round access to E15 fuel. Additionally, the broadcast features analysis on why increased foreign beef imports have failed to lower consumer prices amid a record-low domestic cattle herd. The episode concludes with meteorologist Don Day forecasting heavy, harvest-delaying rains across the western Corn Belt, followed by a transition to a cooler, drier weather pattern.
