Last few days it seems like the cash bids pulled the parachute and are slow descent instead of free fall. Futures going up, big time today.

Supposedly more trade talk going on, am I wrong to brush it off and say I’ll believe it when I see it? So far it seems like that’s all it’s been is talk, or is there hard evidence somewhere of good things happening?

ASF in China, I know this could be big but how big? How many hogs are in China vs US? Would this be like a pedv event? Assuming they don’t contain it, which they just had another case a long ways from the first one. Maybe it would force them to give in on some trade if they have a major pork crisis? If we ended up with it in the US would it shut down exports?

What are some agtalk thoughts on what all is going on in the industry?
