[SPEAKER_B] It's Thursday afternoon, August 6th, and this is AgriTalk. Welcome to AgriTalk. I'm your host, Michelle Roth. Corn and soybeans ended slightly higher after bouncing off support with fresh China sales and pre-WASDE positioning shaking off some steep losses in the wheat market. Now wheat saw technical selling, early spring wheat harvest pressure and poor weekly exports weigh on the market despite no letup in fighting between Russia and Ukraine and stalled exports. Cattle futures saw heavy profit taking hitting some chart resistance, maybe a little sympathy with the stock market sell-off and that was despite some better cash trade. Hog futures also saw some technical pressure. Meanwhile, the Senate Ag Committee failed to advance a farm bill today. We'll have more today on AgriTalk. We start off with Jack Scoville with The Price Futures Group with grain market analysis. Chris Swift of Swift Trading has livestock analysis. Oliver Slope, BlueLine Futures price action perspective right after the news with Bill Watson, Bill Watts, and Bill Watts, editor of Pro Farmer. Sorry about that, Bill.

[SPEAKER_C] No problem, Michelle.

[SPEAKER_B] Hey, Bill, we did have a lot of things going on here today, not necessarily market moving, but the Senate Ag Committee did fail to pass the farm bill here today, which is notable.
