Grains are mixed early with livestock higher.  Randy Martinson, Martinson Ag, says market reaction has been muted to possible 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and 10% on China on the first day of the Trump administration. He expects front loading of product and a pick up in demand for corn, wheat, pork and other products ahead of that.  Wheat is adding war premium back in with Black Sea tensions reigniting.  Cattle are higher with feeders leading on import restrictions on Mexican feeder cattle due to a case of New World Screwworm.  Hogs are making new contract highs in the back months.
