The USDA is rolling out key updates to LRP – giving cattle and hog producers more flexibility and stronger protection in today’s high-price market. These changes will benefit cow-calf producers, as well as cattle and hog feeders.

Give your insurance officer a call for more details or head over to our website. Link in the replies.

Tight stocks. Volatile energy. Big fund positions. @TerrainAg's 2026 corn and soybean price scenarios show just how wide the range could be. https://t.co/llDJYBzLyF

Read more about Daniel and his story in our sustainability report: https://t.co/4mXFNvAUYO

When beef producer Daniel was a student at Kansas State University in the early 2000s, he remembers watching his crop farmer friends adopt variable rate planting and GPS-driven tractors – while ranching stayed largely the same.

“We were basically still doing everything that was done 100 years ago on the ranch.” - Daniel

Today, that’s changing. Virtual fencing and grazing collars are revolutionizing cattle ranching, bringing precision, flexibility, and new opportunities to producers.

This National Beef Month, we celebrate the producers who continue to push the beef industry forward.

Young people entering agriculture face serious safety and health challenges. That’s why we’re proud to support the @AgriSafeNetwork Invest in Your Health program, which brings practical safety and health education directly into classrooms.

From hearing loss prevention to mental wellness, students gain real-world tools to recognize and reduce risks on farms, ranches, and other ag workplaces.

Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day serves as a reminder that supporting the next generation of ag leaders means supporting their wellbeing, too.

Summer has arrived, and we’re excited to welcome 29 fresh faces to our 2026 internship program! 🎉

These students join us from 15 colleges across the country and will spend their summer gaining hands-on experience with our business technology, lending, accounting, customer experience, and insurance teams – just to name a few.

Along the way, they’ll grow their skills through career development sessions, connect at industry events, give back through volunteer opportunities, and, of course, have a little fun.

Join us in giving them a warm welcome! 👋

"It's cool to hear what other young people have going on – and that other people have a lot going on, too. It's not just us."

Emerging producers are finding real value in stepping away from their day-to-day and connecting with others navigating similar challenges, opportunities, and decisions. Side X Side conferences create space for these conversations, helping turn shared experiences into practical ideas producers can take back to their operations.

We have three conferences left this year. Learn more and join the waitlist at the link in the replies.

Registration is open to producers who are 35 years of age or younger, or have been farming for 10 years or less.

While stress is common in farming, it may be less of an obstacle for those using soil health practices compared to conventional methods.

A 2019 survey from @SDState, in partnership with @SDSHCoalition, found that producers using sustainable practices feel more optimistic about their future – and expect to be profitable.

Read more about the survey and see how producers are putting soil health practices to work in our 2025 sustainability report. Link in the replies.

Last week, we celebrated this year’s Farm Credit Fellows as they graduated from the program. 👏

This graduating class marks the 13th year of the Farm Credit Fellows Program, a special undergraduate program in agricultural finance conducted by @NDSU in partnership with AgCountry Farm Credit Services and Farm Credit Services of Mandan.

Throughout the program, students gain valuable hands-on experience, participate in job shadowing, and build meaningful connections with industry professionals.

Each year, more than 40 AgCountry teammates contribute their time and expertise to make this program a success. Since its inception in 2013, 217 students have participated, with 42 transitioning into full-time roles with us.

Congratulations to our 2026 graduates – we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make in agriculture and beyond!

China remains a key variable in the sorghum story.

@TerrainAg notes that on the demand side, the single largest influence on U.S. sorghum prices in the coming months will be export sales activity from China. Over the past decade, China’s demand has accounted for more than 50% of U.S. sorghum production.

The risk of an oversupply of sorghum is understated. Unless we see China accelerate purchases this quarter, that risk could continue to rise – both domestically and globally.

Every operation talks about efficiency, but where are farms actually losing money? In our upcoming webinar, we’ll highlight the overlooked decisions, habits, and assumptions that quietly erode profitability. More importantly, we’ll focus on what can realistically be adjusted now – and what can wait – so you can stay focused on what moves the needle. Register to watch live or later: https://t.co/Ngo7ZnUZbp

This webinar will feature @AgEconomists co-founders David Widmar and Brent Gloy, and Rod Hartwig, VP of commercial lending.

Supporting our customer-owners goes beyond financing – it’s also about providing the resources you need to make informed decisions for your operation.

That’s why we offer @TerrainAg as a source of timely insights, delivering perspective on the topics and trends impacting agriculture.

Terrain explores important questions like:
✅ How will interest rates impact farm investments?
✅ Given the market outlook for the next 3 years, is now the time to expand?
✅ How could a shrinking, older global population affect food demand?

By combining agricultural expertise, market outlooks, and economic analysis, our analysts at Terrain help you stay informed and better prepared for what’s ahead.

Wheat prices this quarter will be heavily influenced by the Iran conflict, along with spring weather and foreign supplies. @TerrainAg expects continued volatility – creating potential opportunities to market wheat as we move toward winter wheat harvest.

While some operations may see improved operating margins, overall margin levels remain near breakeven.
