NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD NEWS) — As producers look ahead to planting season, attention is being pulled in several directions, from newly released guidance on the 45Z tax credit to harvest progress in South America and ongoing trade uncertainty.
Lewis Williamson with HTS Commodities joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share what he is hearing from farmers as they navigate the early-season outlook.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Williamson said producers are closely watching policy developments alongside global supply factors as they make marketing and input decisions.
Williamson also discussed U.S. trade, touching on the upcoming formal review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) scheduled for July, and explained how those discussions, combined with broader trade developments, could influence prices, exports, and overall confidence among U.S. farmers.
He emphasized that while uncertainty remains, producers are staying engaged and informed as they prepare for the months ahead.
