Commodities aren’t the only place records are being broken. The U.S. agricultural trade imbalance just keeps piling on yards. Despite tariffs, the U.S. imported nearly $14 billion more in ag goods than we exported in Q2. That’s not a typo—that’s like the SEC and Big 10 winning the National College Football Championship … it just keeps happening.

The bottom line: markets are unpredictable, defenses are tough, and the scoreboard can swing fast. Don’t let volatility leave your business offsides. At Datum FS, we use data-driven solutions to forecast and contract commodities straight from the source.  Visit the links above to learn more.
