Markets were fairly mixed on Thursday as traders wait for news from the Trump/Xi meeting at the White House. Bryan Doherty, senior market advisor with Total Farm Marketing, joins Market Talk to break down a pivotal week in the grain markets ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting, corn's textbook technical setup heading into harvest, a soggy soybean harvest outlook, and a mixed bag across dairy, cattle and hogs. Bryan digs into why the oat market is hitting new highs despite shrinking acreage, why he's telling farmers to "think strategically" rather than chase headlines, and why the U.S. dollar's recent rally is acting as a drag on grain prices.

Also, it is a brand new episode of Cattle Chatter, as Susan Littlefield talks with Joe Kooima from Kooima Kooima Varilek about a stagnant cattle market that seems to be looking for some direction this week.
