This week will be a slower one from a macro data release stand point, but February WASDE will be released on Thursday which should be the focus of all 4 row crops we cover.

Independent. Objective. Reliable.
This Week in Grain is a newsletter written by John Payne, senior market analyst with Daniels Trading in Chicago. The T.W.I.G. Cast podcast accompanies the newsletter by giving subscribers bi-daily updates on the open and close of the grain trading day. No longer do you need to “tune in” to your local radio or TV station to see what is going on in the markets at that moment. Just click “subscribe” and you will have market updates delivered to you automatically on your phone, up to 10 times a week. This is a “must listen” for anyone in the agribusiness space who needs to stay informed but can’t sit in front of their email all day. Staying in the know has never been easier for readers of T.W.I.G. Learn more.
