## Resource

This is a summary of the August 25, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report. In today's program, Naomi Blohm of Total Farm Marketing analyzed current agricultural markets, highlighting an inside trading day for corn and beans while cautioning that a lack of fresh bullish news could lead to a near-term price pullback. She also emphasized the ongoing impacts of Canadian trade tensions and global conflicts on market stability. The broadcast then detailed practical cover crop and no-till management strategies from Illinois farmers Adam Dahmer, Brent Fowler, and Greg Thoren. They stressed the necessity of proper equipment calibration, adjusting planting angles to avoid old corn rows, and utilizing cover crops for targeted erosion control. Finally, Don Day of Day Weather outlined the agricultural forecast, noting a favorable shift toward warmer, drier conditions in the Corn Belt for late August, while advising producers to monitor potential tropical development heading into September. 00:42 Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, Total Farm Marketing 05:59 Cover Crop Conversations: practical management advice 20:09 Ag Weather with Don Day, Day Weather ★ Support this podcast ★
