On the weekly Ag Commodity Corner+ Podcast, hosted by Farms.com Risk Management’s Chief Commodity Strategist Moe Agostino and Commodity Strategist Abhinesh Gopal, part of the focus was on drought.
The most urgent issue discussed by the two experts was the drought spreading across the eastern Corn Belt.
Ohio experienced its driest August in 133 years, and some regions recorded drought conditions ranking among the driest in over 150 years.
Experts suggested this pattern may signal the start of a long-term drought cycle.
