  SPEAKER_00: If not, uh it'll just sort of be you and me wrapping up the week, looking ahead to the next week.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what we got to uh to look forward to over the weekend.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: We had a slew of daily export sales reported today, including 127,000 metric tons of corn to Japan, 558,000 metric tons of soybeans to China, and 236,000 metric tons for delivery to unknown destinations, all for the 26-27 marketing year.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now get this the the flash sales are are really starting to add up on us here since the same time last month.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: This is uh since September 17, actually.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: Total soybean flash sales add up to right around 2.3 million metric tons.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: That brings the marketing year total very near 13 million metric tons just in flash sales alone.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Now we did get the uh weekly export sales report.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was delayed due to the Columbus Day holiday on Monday, but corn export sales, 1.1 million metric tons, were near the high end of expectations, but a shade below the same week last year.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: Soybean and wheat export sales were both near the low end of expectations with beans at 575,000 metric tons and wheat at 320,000 metric tons, both below the same week last year.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: So soybeans kind of lagging in the weekly export sales, but doing pretty darn good on the daily sales, the flash sale side.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's very encouraging.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get to the tail of the ticker.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Corn, soybeans, and wheat futures were under pressure at the start of the session.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Cattle futures dipped lower early, but quickly came off those early lows to work higher.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: Lean hog futures were moderately higher as trade got going, rounding into the lunch hour.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: Corn futures were trading near the bottom end of the day's trading range.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Soybeans were eyeing a move back into positive territory, and winter wheat futures were nine cents lower.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Livestock futures were higher across the board with lean hogs leading gains.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get to the settlements.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: I've got your December corn all told down three and three-quarter cents, four seventy-four and one quarter.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe we can just call this harvest pressure.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: You know, let's there was a big report in there with an eye-popping number on the corns.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's taking some heat.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's getting an awful lot of blame for the pressure, but let's not forget it's harvest here.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: And if things really are better than has been expected, a little harvest pressure is probably not only to be expected, but dare I say, even a little bit healthy.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: So let's just hang in.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Let's hang in for a little bit here and get through harvest and see where we're at.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: November bean futures down one and three quarters.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: Nice recovery in the soybeans, 1261 and one quarter.

• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, looks like we've got, let's see, there's your high, there's your open, there's your last.

  SPEAKER_00: Just off highs presently, but who knows?
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the weekend is is as good a time as any as we have seen over the news in the last several months for things to heat up in the crude oils, and that may be the case here, and we may see some anticipatory trade there ahead of the weekend.

• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just see what Wiesmeyer says here.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: Democrats remain favored to capture the House and have a credible path to winning the Senate, according to Inside Elections October 15 report, that from just yesterday, which describes a widening battleground that has forced Republicans to defend seats well beyond the usual competitive districts and states.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: The nonpartisan election publication, it's important to note that nonpartisan election publication, according to Wiesmeyer, increased its projected Democratic House gain to 10 to 20 seats.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's comfortably above the three seats it says Democrats need to take control.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: It maintained its forecast for a Democratic Senate gain of three to five seats, a range that straddles the four-seat gain needed for a Democrat majority.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: An eight-seat Senate gain remains possible, the analyst wrote, although that is outside their central forecast, whatever your per political persuasion may be.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Let me just urge you and encourage you, get out there and uh exercise your civic duty.

• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're we're gonna talk some ethanol with with somebody who really seems to know their stuff.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited about that.

• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we're down just uh in the month of September alone, down 16%.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: So on the year 13% on tractor sales, and then down a little bit less than that, but still 11% lower from it'd be September to September, and then uh year to date down nine percent from 2025 on the combine sales.

  SPEAKER_00: The one of the things that I find different about Matlock and uh and Murder She Wrote, Murder She Wrote seems like they always kind of want to end on a joke, and she kind of does this like kind of thing at the freeze frame at the end, and sometimes Matlock will circle around to a joke or or come back, but they're not quite so jokey at the end.
