  SPEAKER_01: Slightly bearish beans, but how bullish corn?
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: If these numbers are true in corn, corn's got some work to do on the rationing side.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: If these numbers go even lower in this, and we have this much pent-up demand, all eyes on harvest this year, South American weather, and everything moving forward.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: When you have too much of something, you can just buy it when you need it.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's like going to the store.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_01: When's the store ever run out of bread?
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: Like they throw out more bread than they sell at stores.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: But when there's a storm like what we had here in northern Indiana, there's a lot of crazy things that happen.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: And all of a sudden you go to the store and they have no milk, no bread, no nothing.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: And it's interesting.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: So everyone just wants what they want when they want.

  SPEAKER_01: This guy wanted to really piss off the American rancher.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: He said, you know what?
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to bring a ton of ground beef in.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: I can tell you, I do not know one organization or anyone involved in beef who said that was a great idea.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: But yet I'm not president, nor will I ever be.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: But I do get a vote, and I'm telling you, President Trump lost some votes from uh people there.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: People who are diehard Republicans said who are actually politicians said that what's going on here.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: It was just it's just wild that the the price of grains are going up, inflation's going up, the cattlemen and rancher have so much headwinds, and then we're gonna import you know a lot more beef, and that's gonna leave a mark.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: All right, with that, all eyes on this guy as we're running around the world making everyone mad.
• 4:22

  SPEAKER_01: If you catch wind that he's not coming, you're gonna see a big sell-off in soybeans seasonally.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: This is a time of year to have these prices this time of year seasonally, this is a great time to be selling soybeans.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: Seasonally, uh, this is a very unseasonal rally we're having here in corn.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: The fact we're rallying this much coming in the harvest, but as all the big shots told you we had a 185 corn yield and it's closer to 170, markets got some work to do.
