Ag Balance workspace

The ag sheet: weekly soybean / corn / wheat export net sales (demand) against quarterly grain stocks (supply), plus crop condition and planting/harvest progress, with a chart + Mississippi grain-barge flow

Use it when: Export sales Thursday, the WASDE, and any weather market.

This desk is for the grain complex - ZS, ZC, ZW. It has no bearing on ES, NQ or CL. If you trade grains it is the most important desk here; if you do not, it is the least.

• Preset strip under the menu bar — one click applies the whole layout. A checkmark tracks which preset is active.
• Or ask for it: show me the ag balance.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything missing is one add <name> away.

• 1. Weekly export net sales for soybeans, corn and wheat — the demand side, and the highest-frequency read here.
• 2. Quarterly grain stocks beside it for supply.
• 3. Crop condition and planting or harvest progress last, plus the barge-flow chart for logistics.

The tell: Demand data is weekly and supply data is quarterly. Most seasonal calls fail because the two are read as if they arrived at the same cadence.

1 panel, read straight from the preset definition in the desktop build:

• Chart Canvas V3

Plus 2 dense sheets — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• ag Sheet
• grain Transport

These desks assume the theory. If any of it is unfamiliar, the background reading is on the learn side:

• Commodity Seasonality Explained
• Soybean Futures (ZS): Specs & the Crush

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
