Last week’s holiday may delay this week’s updates.
-
Grains
Corn continues its rally, with strong export demand lifting sales to record seasonal highs. Prices are nearing technical resistance at $4.30/bu.
Outlook: Without fresh bullish news, corn prices could flatten out in the coming weeks.
-
Beef
The beef market was flat to slightly weaker, with ribs showing some strength while ground beef and trim moved lower post-holiday. The choice cutout stayed at $414.21/cwt. Ground beef (81%) dropped to $3.90/lb, while 50% trim fell to $1.52/lb.
Outlook: Expect the beef cutout to soften through September, but holiday demand will keep tenderloins and ribs firm in the months ahead.
-
Dairy
Cheese blocks and barrels slipped to the mid-$1.70s/lb, and butter softened to $2.01/lb. Demand from retail is steady, though foodservice sales are down compared to last year.
Outlook: Butter demand looks stronger internationally, while cheese prices may remain under pressure with steady production and inventories.

Poultry & Eggs
Chicken harvest volumes climbed 1.6% week-over-week, and breast meat prices slid, with boneless/skinless breasts at $1.97/lb and tenderloins at $2.42/lb. Wings held steady at $1.73/lb, though they remain much cheaper than last year. Turkey prices were mixed, while large eggs are now almost 40% lower than this time last year.
Outlook: Expect retail promotions to pick up this fall, which could give chicken prices a boost. With beef at record highs, chicken demand should strengthen, though new tariff pressures may add some uncertainty.
-
Pork
Pork cutout values rose 2% to $113.32/cwt, driven by stronger ham and butt markets. Pork loins and butts gained modestly, while spareribs and bellies were softer. Trimmings were mixed but mostly higher.
Outlook: Cash hog prices are trending lower, and cutout values could ease with softer demand and tariff-related uncertainty.
-
Seafood
Frozen tilapia prices plunged to a 4.5-year low of $1.52/lb, wiping out gains from 2024. Import volumes have surged, but prices may bounce slightly in the months ahead.
Outlook: Tilapia could recover to the $1.60–$1.70 range, but overall seafood remains under downward price pressure.
