Weekly Purcell Agricultural Commodity Market Report
"In cattle, I said before the break, that we are looking at a bull market in cattle built by the supply-side cycle, which is going to decrease commercial production across the next year or so, and also the declining number of cattle in feedyards across the past few months."

This weekly report covers a wide range of commodes with discussion of both cash and futures prices. The purpose of bloging it here is to provide one stop shopping for agricultural information on the internet. Hopefully in the future, many of the site I am reporting on will have their own blogs and then can efficiently be kept up with with a reader like NetNewsWire which can be found at http://ranchero.com/software/netnewswire/
