• January 14: Soybean producers: Initiate 2026-crop sales... Risk remains abundant in soybeans as USDA once again lowered their export estimate. South American production estimates continue to increase as weather has been beneficial for crop development. Given potential for increasing trade tensions with top importer China, we advise soybean hedgers and cash-only marketers to sell 10% of expected 2026-production to get to 10% sold. We will look to establish floors on a price bounce.

  Corn producers: Initiate 2026 crop sales... December futures rebounded following the report driven sell-off. Risk is elevated with an abundant U.S. balance sheet and potential for high acres in 2026. We feel it is prudent to begin establishing a floor for new-crop. There is unlikely to be a big catalyst until the March Prospective Plantings report. We advise corn hedgers and cash-only marketers to sell 10% of expected 2026-crop production to get to 10% priced. We will evaluate additional hedges if the market provides another opportunity over the coming weeks.
