Rain and cooler weather boosted crop prospects across the nation through July 25 while rising yields and a strong dollar pressured markets. Farmers sold modestly to clear storage as feed demand stayed slow, with futures dropping across corn, wheat, and soybeans. Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota price moves reflect better crops, ample supplies, and softer export demand, with oats and barley mostly lower and alfalfa meal rising on Westward demand.
The International Trade Commission voted 2 to 1 on July 25 to impose an import duty of about 10 percent on live hogs from Canada retroactive to April 3, while rejecting a similar tariff on slaughtered pork. Agriculture Secretary John R. Block welcomed the ruling as a step against subsidized Canadian hogs, though a pork-only duty was not approved. Canadian live hog imports rose to 2.6 percent of the U.S. market early this year, with Canada exporting $155 million in live hog shipments last year.
