Burnin’ Daylight

This week’s Weekly Wrap is a full barn. JBS Greeley’s workers are back on the line with no contract, diesel jumps another 24 cents to $5.64, and USDA’s April WASDE reminds everybody there still aren’t enough cattle and there’s too much wheat. We break down live and feeder cattle, cash trade, slaughter pace, boxed beef, and what a below-capacity kill floor means for your fats and your calves. On the sale barn side, we run the Sale Barn Double-Shot with cattle runs across the West plus a firm using-horse market, and we tip the hat to sponsors Lone Star Stockyards in Texas and Atkinson Livestock Market “The Old Reliable” up on Highway 20 in Nebraska. Then it’s grains, inputs, and pain: range-bound corn and beans, wheat trading a war-and-drought risk premium, diesel screaming higher, fertilizer stubbornly expensive, and interest rates that refuse to back off. We hit drought maps, Washington State’s fourth straight drought emergency, and what that means for grass, hay, and stocking rates. War Reel covers the Iran front, Hormuz and Red Sea shipping risk, and the Black Sea grain corridor – not because we like it, but because it’s why your fuel bill and fertilizer freight won’t calm down. We wrap with Forest Service HQ moving west, the Farm Bridge deadline, sports shenanigans, and an “On This Day” run from the Titanic to a Florida Porsche joyride. Sponsored by: Lone Star Stockyards (Wildorado, TX) – https://www.lonestarstockyards.com Atkinson Livestock Market “The Old Reliable” (Atkinson, NE) – https://www.atkinsonlivestock.com Markets, war, drought, and bad decisions – all tied back to what it means for your cows, your crops, and your fuel bill.

Drought hammering the southern Plains and Southwest. War reel: Ukraine grinding, Israel-Hezbollah trading shots, Hormuz still a choke point. Policy risk meter at 48/100.

War, ceasefire, and a cattle market that refuses to roll over. In this Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Matt walks through a wild 24 hours where Trump's Pakistan-brokered two-week truce with Iran knocked crude down as much as 18%, only for the whole deal to start cracking before the ink was dry. We talk Hormuz, Lebanon, OSINT, and what a "ceasefire" actually means when tankers, missiles, and diesel bills are all tied together. From there, it's one clean after-close market segment: - Live cattle holding in the high 240s with tight supply still doing its job - Feeders clawing back earlier weakness on cheaper corn and snug calves - Corn/beans/wheat leaking lower into the bell as war and weather premium come out - Metals ripping on a late fear bid while stocks puke into the close in a classic risk-off flush Fence Post Politics hits the Farm Bill, environmental lawfare, and the AI data-center land war that's chewing up irrigated acres, water, and cheap power. Drought and herd numbers get their due, with tight beef cows and tight grass still the main story in the West. We close with On This Day, some sports, and a reminder that local zoning boards might be the last line of defense between your cows and a server farm. If you're trying to make sense of war headlines, diesel receipts, and a cattle market that won't quit, this one will get you caught up enough to make decisions without flinching.

War premium, ugly diesel, tight cattle, and DC nonsense – today’s Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report (April 7, 2026) runs from the ring to the war zone and back to your wallet. Matt kicks off with Lone Star Stockyards’ run at Wilderado – 1,168 head with feeders $10–$20 higher and calves sharply higher on a light test – then walks through fats, feeders, hogs, and a grain board trading war, weather, and rumors. He lays out crude over $100, national diesel around $5.64, DAP at $682, urea at $549, potash just under $400, prime at 7.75% and feeder finance at 8.25%, plus a hot sale-barn pulse from Nevada to Oklahoma and a big Superior run that shows just how aggressive buyers are on light calves. The WAR REEL dives into “Operation Epic Fury,” the largest volume of U.S. strikes on Iran so far, continued Russian-Ukrainian slog, 400+ wounded U.S. troops, and what missiles over Hormuz and the Red Sea really mean for oil, freight, and your fuel bill. Matt breaks down OSINT, Telegram, and legacy media spin, and why the only thing that matters is what actually got hit and who pays the bill. From there it’s H5N1 in more than a thousand dairy herds, tighter EID rules, New World screwworm creeping north with a sterile-fly plant in Texas, and a hard look at the 45Z “clean fuel” tax credits that turn your tillage, nitrogen, and manure into someone else’s carbon score. He closes with a quiet but important Colorado property-tax change for pasture-based outfits, some “On This Day” history, and a quick run through March Madness and early-season baseball. For working cowboys and farm & ranch families who live and die by moisture, markets, and policy, this is your daily sitrep.

Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report — Two Threats at the Gate (March 30, 2026) Markets finished the day choppy: cattle held up but faded off early strength, grains leaked lower, and the big outside board is still trading war-premium and politics. The tape matters, but the real story today is what's crawling toward the southern border and what Russia might be hiding in Siberia. In this episode: - Cattle & hogs: June live cattle at 209.55 up 1.05; feeders at 293.30 up 1.85; hogs at 89.125, still range-bound. - Grains: May corn at 4.55 3/4 down 6 1/4; beans flat at 10.59 3/4; wheat at 5.07 up 2. - Russia FMD threat: Mass culling in Novosibirsk, farmers protesting, Kazakhstan banning Russian livestock, up to 18 regions potentially affected. What that could mean for global beef supply and U.S. cattle prices. - New world screwworm: 943 cases in Mexico since late 2024, now 70 miles from Texas. Southern ports closed, USDA releasing 100 million sterile flies a week, FDA emergency topical spray authorized. What producers need to know. - War Reel: Iranian forces harassing tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, Houthis threatening Red Sea shipping. How choke-point risk keeps a war-premium baked into WTI, diesel, freight, and fertilizer. - On this day: Seward's Folly (Alaska purchase 1867), Reagan shot 1981, and the first pencil with an eraser patented 1858. This report is built for working cow-country: the cattle producer, farmer, and small-time operator who needs a handle on the board, the border, and the war-noise.

The Iran war isn't just a map on cable news -- it's American kids from farm towns and ranch schools sitting in missile range. This week: cattle held their ground, hogs sulked, grains stayed cheap, and the big outside markets are trading war headlines harder than USDA reports. In this episode: - Livestock close: live cattle up, feeders strong, hogs under pressure - Grains close: corn soft, beans fading rallies, wheat algorithm-trading - Macro & metals: crude spiking on war premium, gold and silver bid, stocks sliding into correction - War desk: troop movements, Operation Epic Fury update, casualty counts, cost estimates, and damage assessments on both sides - On This Day: U.S. Navy created (1794), Goliad Massacre (1836), Alaska earthquake (1964), and the FDA approves Viagra (1998) Middle America does the fighting -- we deserve straight talk, not slogans.

Board & Boxes: June live cattle ~234.65, up ~1.25 on the day. April feeders ~352.48, up ~1.30. Choice boxed beef just under $400, Select mid-390s.

Markets are frisky, diesel's a bandit, and DC is still DC. Today's Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report for March 24, 2026 walks through: live cattle in the mid-230s, feeders pushing the upper half of their recent range, and corn sagging with national cash around 4.18. USDA's February slaughter report still shows cattle slaughter down about 7% and beef production down around 4% year-over-year, with heavier carcass weights trying to close the gap. Boxed beef has Choice around 400 and Select just under 393. The real squeeze is fuel: U.S. on-highway diesel is sitting a little above $5.00 a gallon, roughly a dollar over EIA's full-year forecast, and up about 4% week-over-week, which quietly rewrites every freight, hay, fertilizer, and feedyard bill in your budget. Also in this episode: - Freedom Framework scoreboard on market distortion and regulatory drag - Underreported story: how diesel is quietly running every ranch in America - On This Day - March 24: Koch discovers the TB bug (1882), the Exxon Valdez spill (1989), NATO's Kosovo air campaign (1999), and National Ag Day 2026 with the theme "Together We Grow" Learn more about your ad choices.

Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report – March 23, 2026. In this episode: - March 1 Cattle on Feed at 11.5 million head with February placements up 4% – what that does to leverage between ranchers, feedyards, and packers. - Fats and feeders firm with corn back in the mid‑$4.60s, beans and wheat under pressure – how that pencils out for buying calves and locking in feed. - Western snowpack at weak levels, early high‑risk fire setup, and Nebraska Sandhills wildfires burning over 820,000 acres – direct implications for hay, grazing, and water. - USDA’s new prevented‑planting rules and nearly $900 million headed to western water infrastructure – why those policy moves actually change risk management on real operations.

After some internet outages and StreamYard/AI issues, the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report is back for March 19, 2026. We cover: - Markets: corn, beans, wheat, fats, feeders, and hogs – where they closed and why it still feels like a “wait and see” board with high feed costs and no relief for cattle feeders. - JBS Greeley strike: 3,800 workers out at a 6,000 head/day JBS plant that handles about 6% of U.S. beef capacity, why the union walked, what JBS is saying, and how that chokepoint throws the whole system into a holding pattern. - Ranch‑level fallout: what happens when fats back up in the yard, freight gets higher, local cash bids soften, and regional differences matter a lot more than they used to. - Texas & Nebraska wildfires: Panhandle and Sandhills fires, cattle and fence losses, and what USDA programs (LIP, ELAP, CRP emergency grazing, ECP fence/cleanup) actually cover – plus why documentation and deadlines matter if you want to see a check. - How to help: Nebraska Sandhills Rancher Fire Relief fund and how to donate online or by mail.

This St. Paddy’s Day, the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report digs into tight cattle, packer leverage, high input costs, and early fire danger. ​ We cover: Markets: fats higher, feeders screaming, hogs steady, soybeans limit-down on China worries, and wheat/corn hanging in there. ​ Packers vs producers: cattle on feed down, shorter showlists, a little leverage shifting back to the country—but packers still running chain speed. ​ Input costs: diesel up roughly 40–50¢ in 10 days and back over $5 in Nevada, unleaded over $4, fertilizer still expensive, and margins getting squeezed despite strong cattle. ​ Interest: prime around 6¾ with Fed funds mid‑3s, making operating notes, feeder loans, and land payments all bite harder. ​ Fire: early 2‑acre fires and escaped burn piles, dry fuels, unpredictable ENSO‑neutral weather, and practical fire‑prep steps so one windy July day doesn’t wipe you out. ​ Fuel’s expensive, interest is expensive, cattle are tight, and fire’s coming—so do your math, get your plan ready, and keep your head on a swivel.

Megaphone description (you talking about the episode): Nebraska is on fire and it ain’t clickbait. I break down the biggest wildfire in Nebraska history—700,000-plus acres burned with the Morrill Fire alone over 572,000 acres of ranch country. We hit the cattle markets quick, then spend most of the show on what matters: blackened pastures, blown-out fence, smoke-choked cows, and ranch families trying to hold it together. I walk through the maps, read you some gut-punch quotes from folks on the ground, and talk through feed, fence, and where to look for help if you’re in the path of one of these fires.

Today on the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report, we sort through a busy week for working cow folks. Cattle futures took a hit even as boxed beef stayed strong, fertilizer prices jumped on the Iran conflict and a choked‑off Strait of Hormuz, and neutral ENSO plus lousy Colorado snowpack keep the Plains drought picture plenty squirrelly. We walk through what that combo means for hay, feed costs, spring planting decisions, and the slow, cautious cow‑calf rebuild. Then we lighten it up with a ride along on the 2026 Great Florida Cattle Drive—a 40‑plus mile heritage push across multiple ranches that’s keeping cracker cowboy culture alive while development chews up pasture.​ Pull up a chair and pour some coffee—this one’s about tightening up risk without losing the joy of the job.

Beneath the stars so bright… you know the song. It’s the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report for March 12, 2026, and today we’re doing it a little better than yesterday. We start with the numbers off National Beef Wire – live cattle, feeders, hogs, corn, beans, and wheat – and talk about what it really means when the board’s bouncing but the cash index is soft and your inputs are stupid high. From there we dig into what’s driving the crazy: Iran and the Strait of Hormuz turning NOLA urea into a roller coaster Fertilizer up 30–40%, acres shifting out of corn, guys getting “no-bid” on nitrogen War, fuel, and the Fed setting up the next round of food inflation Farm Bill 2.0 crawling through DC while 56 farm groups use the phrase “existential threat” with a straight face New World screwworm at the southern border, Mexican cattle shut off, and what that means for feeder supply We wrap with a bittersweet Montana story: a ranch family sitting on a ~$21 million place that could’ve gone to developers or hedge‑fund money… and instead they just give it away so it stays a working ranch. What do you do when the next buyer isn’t a neighbor in a feed‑up pickup, it’s Wall Street? If you’re seeing any of this on the ground – goofy fertilizer quotes, weird local cash, border fallout, or big money buying up ranches in your country – I want to hear about it.

The Friggin Farm & Ranch Report is back. In this episode, Matt breaks down the cattle markets, grain and fertilizer shock from the Iran conflict, the latest dicamba ruling, and the devastating wildfires in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We talk fed cattle near $240 live, feeder indices in the mid‑$360s, corn in the mid‑$4s, beans in the upper‑$11s, and how higher nitrogen, fuel, and interest rates squeeze ranchers even with strong prices. Matt also digs into Strait of Hormuz shipping risk, global urea trade, and why fertilizer and freight costs matter just as much as futures quotes for working cowboys in flyover country. Closing out, we cover wildfire cattle losses, hay over $250/ton, disaster programs, and why fire, drought, regulations, and war all stack up on real farm and ranch families.

I’ve got Aaron back in the Death of Fun studio and we’re trying to laugh our way through a twelve‑day war, Trump lighting up Iran, the U.S. literally stealing Maduro out of his own house, cartel chaos, and everyone on TV lying to our faces. The only way we can deal with it is to crack jokes and talk shit. We get into how mainstream news is completely cooked, why I don’t trust a single cable channel, and how I’m watching Al Jazeera just to dodge American propaganda. We talk mystery “super‑weapons,” casualty numbers we’re not getting, Iran’s “die for this” mindset, Israel bombing half the map, and Lindsey Graham acting like Mossad’s most enthusiastic fanboy. Then we pivot hard into the Epstein files and Bill Clinton’s testimony, roast rich‑guy “massage on every jet” culture, wonder where the pedophile line actually starts, and binge Bill’s deposition like it’s the best SNL sketch that never aired. I freely admit I’m not rich enough to know if every billionaire flight comes with a back rub, I’m definitely not suicidal, and I might actually buy a “probably on the Epstein list” shirt just to see who twitches. If dark humor, bad language, and two blue‑collar idiots stress‑laughing at the end of the empire is your thing, you’re in the right place. Learn more about your ad choices.
