Thursday, March 19th, 2026- Bryan Doherty, Melih Keyman and Cattle Chatter

We saw corn and soybean futures find support to the upside on Thursday, while the livestock complex traded lower with feeder cattle the leader to the downside. Geopolitical risk from disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on energy infrastructure have reinforced some inflationary narratives, drawing speculative interest back into grain markets.

Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing joins us for a conversation about this week's trade in Segments Three and Four while we get perspective on the impacts to fertilizer and gas production in the Middle East as Melih Keyman is the Founder, President, and CEO of Keytrade, one of the world's leading fertilizer trading companies, joins the show.

In Segment One, we get things started with a new episode of Cattle Chatter as Susan Littlefield is joined once again this week by Brad Kooima from Kooima Kooima Varilek. You can watch their full conversation as well on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@markettalkag
