Seed market share keeps tightening across corn, soybeans, and cotton, with a handful of major companies holding most of the retail space by 2020. Fewer suppliers mean less choice for growers and more pricing power concentrated among the biggest players.

Feeder cattle imports from Mexico plunge in 2025 after NWS stops movement, then recover sharply under the baseline path, while the alternative case stays flat. A slower rebound would mean tighter U.S. supplies, firmer prices, and more beef production shifting to Mexico.

Soybeans continue to drift lower, with the chart showing a tentative five‑wave pullback and prices leaning on support near the mid‑12s. Resistance sits overhead in the 12.60–12.90 zone, while a break under recent lows could open the door toward the 12.20 area.

Rainfall builds across the Southwest and the Southeast this week, with lighter totals across the central and northern states. Most row‑crop regions stay on the drier side, while producers in coastal and desert areas may see slower field movement.

Warmth dominates most of the central and eastern U.S. heading into early November, with cooler pockets holding along the Pacific Northwest. Mild conditions should support late‑season fieldwork, while only limited chill settles into the western valleys.

Wetter chances build across the Southwest, central states, Hawaii, and parts of Alaska, while the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Northeast lean drier. Most farm regions should expect mixed moisture, with some late‑month showers helping soil recharge in the southern Plains.

Drought stays widespread across the West and central states, with the harshest pockets from California through the Southwest into Texas and parts of the Midwest. Crop and pasture stress remains elevated, and long‑term moisture deficits continue across key rangeland areas.

Diesel costs continue to climb nationwide, with every state showing a year‑over‑year jump. Increases run widest across the Southwest, while most other regions sit in the mid‑range. Producers should keep fuel budgets tight as fall fieldwork and hauling continue.

Rainfall builds along the Southwest and the far Southeast this week, with lighter totals stretched across the central and northern states. Most row‑crop areas stay on the drier side, while producers in the coastal South and desert regions may see slower field movement.

Moisture trends split the country late month, with wetter chances building in the West and parts of Texas while much of the central and eastern states lean drier. Field schedules should stay flexible, especially where storms may lift into the southern Plains.

Warmth holds over most of the country heading into late October, with the strongest push centered through the central states. Cooler air lingers along the Pacific coast. Expect mild conditions for harvest and livestock work, with only limited chill in the western valleys.

Corn yields held steady to slightly higher across much of the Midwest, with Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, and Texas all posting small bumps. A few states saw mild declines, but overall production remains solid heading into late October, keeping markets steady for now.

Rainfall totals climb across the Southeast this week, with Florida and the Gulf Coast set for the heaviest stretch. Much lighter amounts reach the Midwest and Plains. Fieldwork windows stay tighter in the South while most central states hold steady with manageable moisture.

Warmth holds steady into mid‑October, with most of the country leaning above normal on the 8–14 day outlook. Only the north‑central band shows near‑normal temps. Expect continued mild conditions that keep fields drying and support fall harvest progress.

Rainfall builds across the southern and central states this week, with the heaviest stretch from Texas through the lower Mississippi Valley. Lighter totals reach the Midwest and East. Expect slower field drying in wetter zones and plan around softer ground conditions.

Rainfall totals climb across much of the central and southern U.S. this week, with the heaviest bands stretching from Texas through the lower Mississippi Valley. Lighter amounts reach the Midwest and East. Keep an eye on saturated fields and plan around slower‑drying ground.

Above‑normal moisture is favored from the Mississippi Valley through the Midwest and Southeast in the 6–10 day window, offering a timely boost for row crops and pastures. Much of the West trends drier, where limited precipitation continues to challenge fall fieldwork.
