West Central Ag Grain Comments 02/24/26 9:29:20 AM

- Good morning. CBOT ag markets are mostly quietly lower to start Tuesday trade this morning, with ranges and volume both being down notably at this point from yesterday's hot start to the week. On the news front, focus has shifted almost entirely the last couple days from crop sizes and weather to Trump's new tariff endeavors, which go into effect today amid what appears to still be a lot of questions and unknowns. We are certain Trump and his team have been planning for this SCOTUS decision for some time now and would view recent developments as more a bump in the road as opposed to some sort of broad-based overhaul that's going to upend the President's entire economic agenda, but would just add that recent developments have increased the amount of unknowns in the space, and that usually precedes increased volatility. Corn futures this morning are trading unchanged to a penny lower, soybean futures are trading 2-4 cents lower, and the Chicago wheat market is trading unchanged to a penny lower also.
