Summary
The August 28, 2026, edition of the *Closing Market Report*, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides an overview of commodity market movements, agronomic crop conditions, and regional weather forecasts. Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics analyzes the late-summer market rally, attributing price strength to supply constraints from Black Sea export disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and demand rationing, while recommending a sell-and-defend marketing approach for producers. University of Illinois Extension soil fertility specialist John Jones addresses the impact of early-summer precipitation on nitrogen availability, noting that while localized losses and field variability may slightly soften average yields, remobilization of nitrogen already stored within the plant canopy will sustain grain fill for the majority of the corn crop. Concluding the broadcast, Nutrien Ag Solutions meteorologist Eric Snodgrass discusses the upcoming shift from a cool, wet August to warmer, drier conditions in September across the Corn Belt, while highlighting the broader implications of an intensifying El Niño on potential U.S. harvest delays and South American planting schedules. 01:22 Ag Markets with Mike Zuzolo, Global Commodity Analytics and Consulting 09:30 Corn Uses N Stored in the Plant for Grain Fill 16:43 Ag Weather with Eric Snodgrass, Nutrien Ag Solutions ★ Support this podcast ★
