> El Niño has returned and has more than an 80% chance of ranking among the strongest events since reliable monitoring began.

The shifting rainfall pattern could affect pasture, water availability, and crop conditions across U.S. regions, but the outlook is probabilistic and does not establish a clear nationwide supply shock or price direction.
