During this week’s hearing, farmers and producers expressed frustration with the The White House’s approach to trade. They urged the President to focus on current trade deal opportunities, including a bilateral agreement with the United Kingdom. Watch here: bit.ly/3pWqJDz

Someone once said there’s no such thing as too much rain - just bad timing (this sentiment probably has limits). But probably not wrong for the high dessert/Northern Plains … but also I prefer end of July to late August to be dry. The forecast is not leaning that direction …

YTD at 11” … that’s insane. Really insane when you consider we got over that in June alone. Montana should get about 1/4 to 1/3 of what Iowa gets roughly …

WHAT A COMEBACK BY OHIO STATE! 😱

What a finish. #GoBucks

It's True: recent presidencies have shattered the U.S. free-trade consensus. As protectionism gains ground, the era of sweeping trade deals is fading, harming American businesses, consumers, and farmers' economic futures. Read more: bit.ly/48JlUPM

Do not understand the Democrat’s strategy here. The ONLY way this works out to get a more moderate Republican is they have to vote for them at some point (they being the Dem’s). And I still put that at low odds of happening ….

These are some incredible takeaways from Pro Farmer on the Farm Economy hearing in front of the house yesterday …. And this worsening drought in Montana is definitely not helping our financial positions here. Early harvest results are not good. #agritalk

Brutal year to not have protein. I can’t remember the last time I saw protein scales like that. Getting dangerously close to putting a 3 handle in front of low protein HRW 😳😬 #wheat

Low quality picture … high quality morning. Love spending Friday morning on the AgriTalk Radio free for all and in the combine #agritalk

7 day rain total according to BAMWX - and it’s actually short of ground actuals - HOWEVER just highlighting how localized the drought relief is … we got exceptionally lucky - and even then it didn’t come without serious consequences. Montana still needs a lot more rain.
