1. May Grains Report, WASDE on Friday: The latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand (WASDE) report drops at 11 a.m. CDT. This is the month when USDA shifts crop years, so there is typically a bit of adjusting to production numbers.

2. Global water issues: Farm leaders from around the world are gathering in Lincoln, Nebraska for the 2023 Water For Food Global Conference. We'll cover the event which tackles issues around the ongoing conflict between urban and rural/farm uses of water, and the challenges brought on by climate change, soil degradation, water access and economic disparity.
