Nov 03 | Closing Market Report

The November 3, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report features analysis from Naomi Blohm on recent large U.S. corn export sales to Mexico, which historical data suggests could signal a market bottom and precede upcoming price rallies. Adam Wattson then details his Champaign County farm's transition to strip-till agriculture, explaining how the practice has reduced his equipment costs, altered his nitrogen management to liquid-only applications, and maintained yield consistency. Following this, Don Day provides a weather outlook, noting that a remarkably quiet and mild Pacific air mass across the U.S. will keep soil temperatures too warm for immediate fall anhydrous ammonia applications, while northern South America faces stormy conditions. The program concludes with a memorial tribute to Dale Orville Helms, a distinguished University of Illinois animal sciences alumnus.
