Welcome to AgriTalk. I'm your host, Michelle Rook. Well, soybeans made some new lows for the move here as funds are liquidating longs in the soy complex after the bulls have failed to be fed this week, including on the China deal. Now, wheat and corn saw a late recovery on short covering with corn climbing back above the $5 mark, but it's still vulnerable to report hangover with that 173 million bushels of additional old crop stock. USDA found. Cattle futures extended Wednesday's gains making new highs for the move on technical buying and some talk of some higher southern cash despite softer wholesale beef values at noon while hogs hit more contract lows. Details today on AgriTalk, our guest market analyst Brie Botts with Terrane to talk grains and transportation. Later in the show Scott Varlik with Crema Crema Varlik joins us with livestock market perspective. Oliver Slope, BlueLine Futures has price action right after the news with Phil Watts. Editor of Pro Farmer. Good afternoon, Bill. We did hold the $5 mark in corn today. I guess I'll cheer about that.

[SPEAKER_C] Hi, Michelle. Yes, it was a, uh, a pretty interesting session there. We, we did see, uh, corn try to hold that line on $5 in the overnight trade, but then came under some inevitable pressure there during the day, and then we, uh, managed to snap back, um, to close back above $5.
