Will Crop Prices Continue To Rise?

Canola and soybean prices have been on the rise as of late.
 
Dan Basse is president of AgResource Company in Chicago.
 
We asked Basse if he expects that trend to continue.
 
"We will see that continue if indeed there is a problem with South American crop sizes, either dry weather for Argentina or maybe a lower than expected yield for Brazil," he said. "At this point, China's made big purchases in the United States markets, we do have a new harvest coming forward in Brazil. I think you need be careful of being overly bullish up here, unless you have those crop problems."

Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild

Video: Genetics vs Genomics in Swine - Dr. Max Rothschild



In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Max Rothschild, Distinguished Professor at Iowa State University, explains how genetics and genomics have transformed swine production. He explores genomic selection, key gene discoveries, and the role of gene editing in improving disease resistance and productivity. Practical insights on litter size, meat quality, and industry adoption are also discussed. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Genetic improvement in swine production accelerated significantly once molecular tools enabled identification of DNA level variation influencing growth, reproduction, and meat quality across commercial populations."

Meet the guest: Dr. Max Rothschild / max-f-rothschild-b3800312 earned his PhD in Animal Breeding from Cornell University and has spent over four decades at Iowa State University advancing swine genetics and genomics. His research focuses on genetic improvement, disease resistance, and molecular tools for swine production. A leader in pig genome research, his work has shaped modern breeding strategies.
