Sep 10 | Closing Market Report

The September 10, 2026 edition of the Closing Market Report provides a comprehensive overview of commodity markets, fall fertilizer strategies, and agricultural weather. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net attributes recent market gains to confirmed Chinese purchases and tight global soybean stocks, advising producers to manage risk through hedging rather than relying on continued rallies. John Jones, a University of Illinois soil scientist, outlines fall fertilizer recommendations, stressing the economic value of targeted grid or zone soil testing for phosphorus and potassium to avoid unnecessary applications. He also emphasizes utilizing the Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculator to optimize anhydrous ammonia rates. Lastly, Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather forecasts a shift toward cooler, wetter conditions in the central United States that should benefit wheat planting, while noting unusually heavy early-season rainfall in southern Brazil and the developing impacts of a historically strong El Niño pattern.01:02 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:55 UofIL Fall Fertilizer Application Recommendations17:04 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★
