Episode 121 of the What the Futures Podcast features Ryan Copithorne (Cows in Control) on cattle markets sitting at all-time highs, including why pricing is strong, what bearish risks to watch, and practical risk management ideas like forward selling, livestock price insurance, and hedging, plus details on his June 18 event in Madden, Alberta. Ryan also discusses farm community challenges, flooding and road washouts delaying seeding on the Denis farm, and emphasizes “tractor cab math” to compare today’s grain prices to budgets and lock in margins. Tyler Yaremchuk (Nation Network) joins to recap the NHL playoffs, discuss Oilers roster needs, and react to the draft lottery chaos with the Maple Leafs landing the No. 1 pick. The episode closes with “eating your veggies” marketing tips and a song pick for the planting playlist.
