DELMARVA — America’s farm economy is sending mixed signals this week according to Creighton University economist Ernie Goss. He says the sector isn’t as strong as producers would like but it’s holding steady against potential headwinds. The uncertain environment continues to challenge grain and livestock operations across Delmarva as producers manage input costs and volatile markets.
Meanwhile, a Wisconsin soybean grower is pushing the Trump administration to lock in firm trade commitments with international buyers. The farmer wants signed agreements with enforcement teeth so foreign markets can’t back out at the last minute. That stability matters for Delmarva growers watching export demand.
Markets
March corn futures closed at $4.37/bu. Soybeans settled at $10.18. Wheat came in at $5.45. Local cash corn on Delmarva is running $4.30 to $4.35. Soybeans are fetching $9.90 to $10.10 at regional elevators.
Forecast
Partly cloudy skies are expected today with a high of 43° and light winds out of the north. Good conditions for fieldwork if ground is dry enough. Tomorrow brings light rain likely transitioning to a chance of light snow by evening with temperatures reaching 43° before dropping overnight to 25°. Producers should plan accordingly if outdoor work is scheduled.
