Troy Bredenkamp, SVP of Government and Public Affairs from the Renewable Fuels Association, discussed the recently introduced bi-partisan Home Front Energy Indepdence Act that would ban Russian crude oil imports to the US and encourage biofuels to fill the gap. Then, Joel Haggard, SVP of Asia Pacific for the USMEF joined the show from Hong Kong with a look at how that region is adjusting to their first COVID outbreaks, and what that could mean for red meat demand in SE Asia. And, with the grains and energy markets on a tear, Arlan Suderman of StoneX shared his thoughts on how the demand picture could shape up through the year and what StoneX expects to see next week on the USDA Prospective Plantings report. To close the show, Mike shared an update on the discussions happening in Europe about getting US LNG to those countries and how the nickel market has reacted since trading resumed last week
