   Trade Rules Up in the Air: Tariff Changes Fall Ahead of Ag Conventions

   We'll cover major ag industry conventions and look for responses to the 
Supreme Court 6-3 decision that the president doesn't have authority to set 
sweeping tariffs against trade partners.

   OMAHA (DTN) -- Here are the Top 5 things the DTN Newsroom is tracking for 
the week of Feb. 22. Watch for coverage of these and other topics throughout 
the week on our subscription platforms as well as on http://www.DTNPF.com.

   Note that all report release and webinar times are Central Standard Time 
unless otherwise noted.

   1. Tariff ruling shock waves: The Feb. 20 Supreme Court decision ruling 
against the Trump administration's tariffs will continue to send economic waves 
through U.S. industries, particularly trade-heavy agriculture. Watch for more 
reporting on that in general and from the many ag conferences happening this 
week.

   2. Commodity Classic this week: Speaking of those conferences, we'll have a 
number of reports from the annual commodity group conference and trade show in 
San Antonio, Texas. DTN will be at booth 1047 talking about some upcoming 
products for farmers and for others in agriculture. If you're attending 
Classic, stop by, say hello, and learn more.

   3. Ethanol news: We'll also be reporting on 45z, tariff-decision 
implications and other news from the National Ethanol Conference, in Orlando, 
Florida.

   4. Drought help for some: The past week featured big precipitation events, 
including hail in central Illinois, while wildfires broke out in dry Oklahoma 
and Kansas areas. A couple of storm systems are likely this week, favoring 
northern areas of the Plains, not the dry swath that reaches from Missouri 
across high-production areas of Illinois and Indiana into northwestern Ohio. 
Strong winds associated with these systems could dry soils quicker, especially 
with temperatures rising again next week.

   5. Reports due this week: Monday at 9 a.m. sees Factory Orders for December 
and Multivariate Core Trend Inflation. At 10 a.m. we'll have Grain Inspections 
numbers, then Chicken and Eggs data is released at 2 p.m. Then, Tuesday at 8 
a.m. is S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index numbers, followed at 9 a.m. by 
Wholesale Inventories for December and Consumer Confidence for February and New 
Home Sales. Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., EIA's Weekly Petroleum Status including 
ethanol production and inventory numbers. At 2 p.m., is Broiler Hatchery data. 
Thursday at 7:30 a.m., Grain Export Sales and Initial Jobless Claims comes out, 
followed at 10:30 a.m. by Weekly Economic Index, then at 2 p.m., Crop Values 
and Slaughter Weekly numbers. Friday at 7:30 a.m., are Producer Price Index 
(PPI) and Core PPI. At 8:45 a.m., we'll see Chicago Business Barometer followed 
at 9 a.m. by Construction Spending (these are delayed data from November). At 2 
p.m., Poultry Slaughter and Egg Products is released, followed at 2:30 p.m.,
