Futures and options trading involves risk and is not suited for everyone.
USDA is changing how farm entity structures affect payment eligibility, and the difference between one limit and several can come down to ownership percentages and paperwork. We walk through what qualifies as a pass-through entity, what “actively engaged” really means now, and what you must file before the 2026 deadline.
• how LLCs, S Corps, and partnerships qualify as pass-through entities for payment limits
• Why the old system pushed farms into extra entities and extra tax returns
• how payment limits rise and get indexed to inflation
• Why ownership percentages can reduce the number of effective payment limits
• What changes in the actively engaged in farming test when owners are paid wages or management fees
• where the $900,000 AGI cap still applies and where a 75% gross income test can waive it
• what counts as farm income starting in 2026, including agritourism, direct sales, and equipment gains
• what the new Form 902E reporting means and why September 15, 2026, matters
• why payments ultimately attribute down to individuals and Social Security numbers

War Update!!

We catch up on a wild week where commodities react to shifting weather, tight livestock supplies, and nonstop geopolitical noise. We also lay out a surprisingly bullish cotton roadmap, then zoom out to the policy and rate decisions that shape what farmers and traders do next.
• Weekly moves across grains, livestock, and softs are viewed through fundamentals
• Bullish cotton balance sheet driven by polyester disruption, tighter stocks, and policy support
• JBS plant closure as a signal of a historic cattle shortage and lower slaughter capacity
• Iran uncertainty and why oil markets struggle to trust timelines and headlines
• New World screwworm case count, monitoring challenges, and the USDA response
• 45Z GREET model update and what it could mean for corn, soybean oil, and biofuel investment
• US ag trade deficit improving on lower imports, exports still the challenge
• FOMC setup and why higher rates raise the cost of storing grain
• USMCA leverage talk, what the US, Canada, and Mexico each want
• Midterm election forecast and how control of Congress could shake out

Futures and options trading involves risk and is not suited for everyone.

We walk through a bruising week in grains and ask what smart marketing looks like when funds bail, seasonal lows show up, and input costs still won’t cooperate. Then we shift to the real-world shocks and policy levers that could change demand fast, from screwworm in Texas to 45Z sustainable aviation fuel rules and the timing of U.S.-China trade moves.
• grain and soy complex correction tied to improved weather, weak China demand signals, and fund liquidation
• old-crop selling mistakes and why pairing cash sales with call options can manage risk
• key USDA dates ahead, including WASDE and crop production, June acreage, and grain stocks
• New World Screwworm cases in South Texas, the 12-mile containment focus, and what an expanded radius could mean
