We saw a really strong finish to the grain and livestock trade on Friday after a volatile week of trading and market moving headlines. The question now is whether or not next week's Midwest Crop Tour will actually confirm some of the big yield estimates from USDA? Plus, an update on screwworm had the cattle on edge to close the week.

It is looking like a positive end to a volatile week for the grain complex on Friday as traders watch weather, headline news and more.

Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX, joins us for our Midday Commentary and analysis.
