Your Pro Farmer Newsletter (October 25, 2025) is now available

The government shut down continues with little end in sight. Still, traders are drawing conclusions from the cash market that demand remains strong and production may not be as good as originally anticipated. We take a look at the latest Ag Economists’ Monthly Monitor from Farm Journal and navigate the slew of headlines surrounding the cattle market that drove price action all week. Trade stories continue to drive trade as well, with Trump ending trade talks with Canada and an expected meeting to take place between Trump and Xi at the end of the month. We cover all of these items and much more in this week’s newsletter.
