USDA 2025/26 U.S. Supply/Demand Estimates 'Net Neutral' for U.S. Farmers & Ag OEMs

USDA introduced its U.S. supply and demand estimates for 2025/26 crops on Feb. 27 during its annual Outlook Forum in Virginia. 

Based on these initial estimates, J.P. Morgan's model suggests U.S. major crop cash receipts will total $119.7 billion in 2024/25, which is "flattish" year-over-year, said Tami Zakaria in a note to investors.

Overall, the report shows increases in ending stocks of U.S. wheat and corn and decreases in U.S. soybeans, which Zakaria says "is net neutral for U.S. farmers and for agriculture OEMs. Moreover, stocks-to-use (STU) ratios are seen expanding further for wheat/corn and compressing for soybeans in the U.S."

If you assumed Nebraska was too hot and dry for white mold to be a problem in soybeans, think again.

This week we're featuring Galen Samuelson, a farmer and dealer from Wakefield, Nebraska, who knows all too well how devastating white mold can be.

"We don't have it consistently every year, but with our temperature and humidity, it can hurt us quite bad," Samuelson says. Looking for alternatives, he explains, "What I like about Heads Up is that it's non-harmful to the beneficial fungal colonies in the soil." Galen has been using Heads Up for several years now, after first hearing about it through a small ad in a regional newspaper. Watch below to hear about his journey.

When asked to write about Samuelson Seed, Galen said the following:

"Samuelson Seed is a 4th-generation, family-based company. It started with my grandfather, and I'm now starting to pass the torch to my son, Caleb."

"In the early 1990s, I started working with a company whose focus was on plant and soil health before those benefits were widely known. I've continued to keep plant and soil health the main focus in our farming operation decisions."
