Moving Iron: Reading the Markets, Weathering the Season, and Transforming Farm Mindsets
In this episode of Moving Iron, Casey Seymour and Greg Peterson dig into the headline-driven rally in beans and what it reveals about the broader ag market. As fall sets in, they explore how changing weather patterns, shifting economic policies, and political headlines—from interest rate drops to international trade talks—are influencing farmer sentiment and equipment trends.
Greg breaks down the current auction market pulse, explaining how uncertainty slows decision-making while end-of-year incentives like Section 179 drive seasonal buying cycles. Casey adds perspective on how farmers are adjusting their fleet strategies in a market where strategy and timing matter more than ever.
Special guest Andy Caygeon Junkin, a seventh-generation farmer and expert in family farm conflict resolution, joins the conversation to discuss how transforming habits and mindset can strengthen farm operations from the inside out. From promoting curiosity over defensiveness to building daily habits of empathy and accountability, Andy’s proven approach is helping families worldwide create lasting change within their businesses and relationships.
Whether you’re tracking commodity trends or looking to improve communication on the farm, this episode blends market insight, behavioral wisdom, and practical strategies to help you move iron—and move forward—with confidence.
