Agriculture's top stories this week include the latest on crop conditions, livestock markets and several important USDA updates for farmers and ranchers.

This week's headlines include the phased reopening of Mexican cattle imports, new opportunities for U.S. pork exports to Japan, and the latest recommendations for scouting western bean cutworm. We also cover important USDA program deadlines, declining fertilizer prices, and how changing consumer demand is creating new opportunities for dairy producers.

This week's interviews were recorded at Corteva's Media Day, where Ag News Daily Team Members Delaney and Josie heard Dr. Dave Bubeck, global breeding alliances lead, to reflect on 100 years of Pioneer and how breeding innovation continues to shape modern agriculture. They also spoke with Trent Brisby, agronomy innovation marketing manager, about practical strategies for protecting yield throughout the growing season.
