Nov 05 Closing Market Report

In the November 5, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report, host Todd Gleason covers commodity markets, yield forecasts, weed science, and agricultural weather. Kaden Sweeney of AgMarket discusses local harvest yields in east-central Illinois and anticipates a quiet November USDA crop production report, noting that soybean prices will heavily depend on Brazilian weather developments. Mike Castle from StoneX highlights their latest customer yield survey, which projects national corn and soybean yields higher than previous estimates due to surprisingly strong performance across the northern plains. University of Illinois weed scientist Aaron Hager shares details about a new regional survey assessing farmer awareness and readiness to adopt precision weed control technologies, such as optical sprayers. Finally, Mike Tannura of T-Storm Weather explains how an exceptionally strong El Niño is driving mild U.S. winter weather—likely benefiting the winter wheat crop—while currently bringing heavy spring rains to South America that are supporting their soybean crop development.
