Lean Hogs: Front-month contract made a 5-year low on volume 2x the daily average. Capitulatory-like.

During panel discussion organized by the group Speak Up For Justice, Scott Pelley says: "In my experience, and having talked to my colleagues as well, there was an imperative to move our coverage in the direction of the president. To put a thumb on the scale, if you will, in terms of the president's viewpoint. ... I had never seen anything like this. This was corporate influence coming into the news division saying, 'We want you to report stories with this particular bent, in terms of politics.' It was anathema to all of us who had worked at 60 Minutes for so many years, and we fought the battle against it. We pushed back against it."

Ann Wagner is doing a media tour this week....really. Telling them how this was her plan to wait until the end when people are paying attention. She's right. About 100 people in Truesdale in Warren County showed up last night to hear from the candidates. We could be there in person, send a video, and/or send team members to man a table. Ann did none of that. She skipped it. Yes, people are paying attention. After she's burned $5.7 million to try and stay in office...she can't even bother to cut a video for her own constituents. She is a coward.
Thank you to the Mayor of Truesdale for hosting a meet the candidate event tonight! It is a shame Ann Wagner chose to skip another community gathering, it was a great crowd and an important conversation.

Three Rs in NJ - Tom Kean, who Republicans think is going to lose no matter what. - Chris Smith, who has been in office since 1981. Tied for longest-serving lawmaker in the House. - Jeff Van Drew, who was first elected as a Democrat in 2018 and joined the GOP during Trump's first term.

Trashed our corn head backshaft bracket yesterday around 4:00. Welded it back together last night, made a six-hour round trip for a new shaft today, and 24 hours later, we’re back at it. Pulling into the driveway last night, I was about at my breaking point. Didn’t know if we’d find parts or if I needed to start shopping for another corn head. But if life has taught me anything, it’s to never, EVER quit. There’s something about farming on a small scale with older equipment that people don’t always understand. Going to the field isn’t necessarily the hard part. It’s the reward. The sigh of relief after the frustration, the uncertainty, the late nights, and figuring out how to make something work with what you’ve got. Sometimes you go to the field tired, not rested. And you’re just thankful to be going.

This is GREAT! The COT provides market participant positioning, and can signal when a trend is likely to continue or shift. But it's not a timing tool. And I write a COT newsletter, that's going to remain once a week for sure Data still delayed too much for 2026

The difference between Dems doing well or even just “ok” on Nov. 3 vs doing something historic will depend on how many voters under 30 actually vote. This poll matches every x-tab I’ve seen this cycle. GenZ has shifted sharply against the party in power. The only unknown is the turnout
🚨Democrats lead Republicans 63%–26% among likely voters ages 18–29 in our Harvard Youth Poll. 63% of #GenZ say their midterm vote is opposition to Trump and his policies. Young voters are poised to deliver a sharp rebuke. Here’s what’s driving it. 🧵

When my book came out, everyone asked if Trump was going to change the direction of US trade policy. "Too soon to say" I'd say because of status quo bias. Now Trump made "tariff" one of the most hated words in politics, says @greg_ip wsj.com/economy/trade/how-ta… via @WSJ (1/2)
