Rise above market disruption

On-again, off-again tariffs on nearly all US imports, with retaliatory tariffs by many countries, have been a major disruptive factor in nearly all commodity markets as well as to transportation and the economy in 2025. The impact of weather on crop production domestically and globally further adds to the challenges faced by market participants making buying and selling decisions. Presentations from commodity and weather experts at the Sosland Purchasing Seminar Winter Webinar in early December 2025 will provide insights to navigate the markets in uncertain times.

2024 Sosland Purchasing Winter Webinar

Discover the most beneficial buying opportunities in years for food manufacturers, as mostly favorable weather, increased supplies, and lower prices have shaped the grain, oilseed, and sweetener markets in 2024 and heading into 2025. With the war in Ukraine having minimal impact on U.S. grain exports and a shift from El Niño to La Niña set to impact global weather, the stage is set for strategic decisions.
