Apr 16 Closing Market Report

- Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net - WILLAg News | SAF Market Development & Year-Round E15 - Using Metribuzin to Manage Group 15 Resistant Waterhemp - Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net The April 16, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report covers updates on agricultural markets, biofuels, weed management, and national weather impacts. Market analyst Matt Bennett explains that corn and soybean markets are consolidating as wet and cold weather temporarily pauses planting across the Midwest, warning that high energy and fertilizer costs pose long-term profitability risks for growers. In policy news, industry leaders are advocating for federal support to expand the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) market, while lawmakers simultaneously push for year-round E15 to combat inflation and assist farmers facing negative margins. On the agronomy front, weed scientist Aaron Hager advises that with waterhemp populations in Illinois showing resistance to group 15 herbicides, farmers should consider utilizing metribuzin, an older asymmetrical triazine that remains effective against the weed. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura details severe, ongoing drought conditions and an impending freeze threatening winter wheat in the western plains and southern United States, a situation that contrasts sharply with record wet conditions delaying fieldwork in northern states like Michigan. ★ Support this podcast ★
