Summary
- Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net - Use 10oz of Metribuzin on Waterhemp - FAPRI Cautions RVO Soybean Push - Mark Russo, EverStream.ai The April 20, 2026, Closing Market Report covers several key agricultural updates, beginning with analyst Curt Kimmel noting fluctuating grain markets influenced by adverse weather in the wheat belt and ongoing spring planting progress. Ben Brown from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) discusses their 10-year agricultural outlook, highlighting a persistent financial gap between the crop and livestock sectors. He also warns that subtle biofuel policy details regarding international feedstocks could unexpectedly weaken domestic soybean oil demand before 2028. Meteorologist Mark Russo reports that recent cold snaps likely caused minimal widespread damage to winter wheat and forecasts a drier, warming trend favorable for Midwest planting, though he notes growing concerns over dry conditions for Brazil's safrinha corn crop. Finally, the broadcast briefly highlights research recommending a specific 10-ounce application rate of Metribuzin to control herbicide-resistant waterhemp. ★ Support this podcast ★
