Summary
The July 2, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report highlights commodity settlements and a shift toward a weather-driven market. Analyst Matt Bennett and industry leaders discuss the agricultural risks of the USMCA entering an annual review process rather than an automatic renewal, while Representative Angie Craig connects rising farm bankruptcies to current trade policies and reduced food assistance. On the agronomic front, entomologist Nick Seiter advises producers to scout for corn leaf aphids during early reproductive crop stages, though he notes severe outbreaks are rare. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura forecasts near-term cooling for Illinois and outlines competing mid-July models that predict either a beneficial cool front or a persistent heat dome during the critical corn pollination window. 02:13 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net 07:06 WILLAg News Update for July 2, 2026 11:28 Corn Leaf Aphids – when to scout and what to expect 16:00 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, T-storm Weather Click here to view the episode transcript. ★ Support this podcast ★
