Good morning, this is the david geiger. The dowdupont merger announced late last year is taking some heat from the Senate Judiciary committee. Chairman and iowa senator Chuck Grassley is raising alarms over the proposal to merge by Companies Dow and threatening possible hearings on the antitrust implications of the move. Saying the judi iary committee has an obligation to review the merger. The merge would create a 95 billion dollar company. Which would split into three separate companies. All selling as much as a fifth of the worldldpesticides aa 40 percent of us corn and bean seeds. Grassley says that makes a huge concern because of a potential of reduced competition. Force layoffs. And the history right here in iowa. And they better take that into consideration. Because they merge, split into three companies. Make an agricultural seedompany and then want to move all this out of iowa or even move the corporate e headquarters out of iowa . No. That stuff should be in iowa. Grassley hinted he may be persuading Committee Members for a call for hearings, adding there are things can be embarrassing for the two firms if they are brought out in the cattlemens beef ssociation had meetitis last ek with a guest terry duffy from the cme. And stakeholders were logging complaints of High Frequency trading, too much volatility, and locking limit too often. Over in the grains. January turned out to be a net positive. I talked to analyst dan hueber before the close about the end of the month rallies. I think as a whole were looking at what 3hould be a positive month. Now granted, yesterday we seem to have lost a aittle bit of that glimmer. Im not saying were showing immediate signs of giving this up but might be pretty difficult to sustain much more strength now as we move into a new monththso theres kind of an old rule of thumb too that if you rally or break into the first week of a month you tend to kind of start unwinding those things very volatile trade here in the Cattle Market for the last several months. Personal bias though, the Cattle Market after breaking down here into mid month has recouped nicely. I like to think the worst of its out of the way in the cattle the time being its gogog to be tough h o i think post really add up the whole picture here in the Cattle Market. Yes we are starting to rebuild herds a little bit, but on the same token, you know the economy continues to grow, although not at a huge pace. I mean the employment numbers are good. All those things would generally say we can look for some`decent beef demand. Continues to adadnce, now that said ive been kind of thinking were going to run this rally into just exhaustion.
