good afternoon.geiger. this week the senate is going to try and deal with the g-m-o labeling debate.. by passing a voluntary labeling bill headed by senator pat roberts.. it's an attempt to head off what some senators believe will be a nationwide patchwork of state labeling laws.. that start with a mandatory labeling vermont law in july. iowa senator chuck grassley says laws like vermont's are intended to hurt biotech products.. there are some democrats.. like senator debbie stabenow on the agriculture committee that think different state labeling laws will not work.. but it's not clear if democrats as a whole.. will back a roberts bill. "they aren't sure where democrats stand on it, yet. but in our meeting tomorrow or thursday will tell us exactly where they stand. but it's going to be difficult to get this bill through the united states senate if it isn't bipartisan."

people have a right to know what's in their food. he claims a majority favors labeling.. looking at a trend of long term averages.. the grains haven't really moved much in about half a year.. and while the brazilian harvest is about 15 percent done.. that's already built into the prices. "the grains are pretty neutral and i really don't have anything much involved in them. very neutral. far away." "march is next week. i think again for another month. i don't think there's any money to be made until at least april so avoid this market at the current time and if you look at soybeans, they're the same price they were six months ago. corn has gone nowhere. just avoid the market at the current time. i still am not bullish though." "i'm not involved in cattle right now but as a producer i would take advantage of any of these 200-300 point rallies. absolutely. i still think we are in a longer term downtrend line. meaning the spike ups are just retracements. we're still headed lower." "the hog market continues to

continues to move higher. really remarkable in my opinion. i figure again as a producer if i can sell 81 i can start taking some risk off. i'm still looking at a short position coming up soon, but it's just not time yet." president barack obama says he is cautiously optimistic congress will support the trans-pacific partnership. speaking to a delegation of state governors at the white house this week.. he says he's looking for pro- trade democrat and republican votes. labor leaders oppose t-p-p. obama says senate and house leaders are largely supportive of the pact.. the 12 member nations of the trade deal reached an agreement last year.. and signed the pact earlier this month.. but it has to be ratified by the
