Corn production is projected to decline 7% with lower planted acreage and lower yield forecast as well, coming off record production in the 2025-26 crop. Soybean acreage will rise because of projected profitability over other crops, but soybean yield will hold steady. BUSDA Grains and Oilseeds Outlook

The biggest outlier in this month's USDA Cattle on Feed report will be the marketing data, which doesn't have a large effect on the market. Overall, the report could be received as bullish if pre-report estimates hold true. 7^USDA Cattle on Feed Report Preview

USDA's Ag Outlook Forum soybean oil supply and demand estimates for biofuel use should underpin vegetable oil markets for the year to come. BCanada Markets

Beef production is expected to decline again in 2026, but growth in pork, turkey and broilers is expected to offset the decline. Consumer demand isn't declining but remains strong and is expected to support prices for the livestock and poultry sectors. BUSDA Livestock, Poultry Outlook

President Donald Trump issued an executive order to protect the domestic production of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate. The order gives the Agriculture Secretary authority to direct the production of both crop inputs. It also gives immunity to companies for following the executive order.
