This episode features Brady Huck discussing the impact of widespread rain across key U.S. growing regions, especially western Kansas. The moisture brings relief to wheat crops but adds pressure to grain markets as forecasts play out.

Market coverage includes mixed movement in corn, soybeans, and wheat, strength in feeder cattle, and softness in cotton. Ethanol production rises sharply alongside a stock drawdown, signaling seasonal fuel demand. Export sales come in mixed, with weaker results for soybeans and cotton but stronger sorghum demand.

The show also highlights macro developments: a major Russian strike on Kyiv, renewed U.S.–China tariff tensions, and a weaker U.S. dollar boosting U.S. ag competitiveness. Updates to the drought monitor suggest improvement, though recent rains are still being absorbed. As the market enters a volatile seasonal transition, the focus remains on risk management and market awareness.

In this episode of Grains of Truth, Brady Huck of ATI ProMedia delivers a dynamic update on the grain and livestock markets, where equities are rallying but grains are under pressure. May corn and KC wheat hit new lows, while lean hogs and cattle show signs of strength. Brady revisits highlights from Toni Dunker’s insightful guest appearance, emphasizing her point not to get lulled to sleep by quiet markets. He breaks down technical trends in key commodities, discusses the potential impact of May option expirations, and shares practical strategies for navigating market volatility.

Brady takes a moment for a "soapbox" reflection, urging farmers to be honest with themselves about past marketing decisions—not justifying missed opportunities, but learning from them to build better habits. He champions a mindset of accountability and repeatable strategy over perfection, reinforcing the importance of adapting to shifting conditions with confidence and discipline. With humor, market insight, and a call to action, this episode empowers farmers to stay alert, make informed moves, and avoid becoming a cautionary tale in today’s volatile ag economy.
