On Wednesday's episode of Market Talk, we broadcast live from the Commodity Classic trade show floor with the folks at Farm Credit, discussing current conditions, financial realities on the farm and much more. We sit down with Tara Durbin, Chief Lending Officer for Agriculture at Farm Credit Mid-America during the first half of the show followed by Tony Jesina, Senior Vice President of Insurance with AgCountry Farm Credit Services and Farm Credit Services of America.

In between, Zaner Ag Hedge Chief Market Analyst Karen Braun stops by for our markets segment to discuss some of the latest moves in the trade, South American competition in the markets and much more.

Soybeans were the upside leader on the day Tuesday as the markets were relatively mixed across the board. It seems like the markets are working through a fair amount of uncertainty regarding tariffs, China, Middle East tensions, acreage intentions and much more. Meanwhile on the livestock side, how much could the broader economy play a role later this year? Jim McCormick from AgMarket.net joins us on the sidelines of Commodity Classic in San Antonio, TX for today's market analysis conversation. Find more at https://www.agmarket.net.

Also on today's show, we have two different agronomic conversations as we not only look back at 2025 but more importantly, look ahead to the 2026 growing season. In Segment One we hear from Alex Case, retail sales agronomist for Brevant seeds in Indiana who shares some tips on planning for 2026. Then, we talk with Syngenta's Jason Snell who dives more into lessons learned from last year and things to learn for this year ahead.

There is plenty of news to watch in the markets as we start the final week of February. Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX, joins us to discuss everything from tariffs to geopolitics and more in our Midday Commentary.
