Wiesemeyer's Perspectives | Inside the shutdown: farm payments, China, and what’s next for ag policy
Manage episode 510553531 series 3004060
We break down how the shutdown stalls key USDA payments, why Obamacare funding is the leverage point in Congress, and what a two-phase farmer aid plan might look like. Markets absorbed a bearish stock surprise, China looms over soybean demand, and California greenlights E15 with a slow path to pumps.
• Senate rejects clean funding extension; Obamacare funding becomes leverage
• ECAP 14% paid; ARC/PLC paused; loans and disaster programs on hold
• Roughly half of the U.S. SDA staff furloughed; implementation bottlenecks
• Two-phase aid: White House trade payments first, broader economic aid later
• China purchase timing likely into next year; tariff revenue constraints
• USDA corn stocks surprise; markets show resilience amid thin data
• Possible delay of October crop report; Fed signals rate cut on softer jobs
• California approves E15; infrastructure and labeling push rollout to 2026
• Auto tariff relief chatter highlights wider trade-policy ripple effects
