Successful Marketing

After being mentally and emotionally battered by horrific weather events of 2019, farmers now face a new ambush in 2020: lower prices due to COVID-19 panic selling.

Markets gave famers a nice Christmas rally thanks in part to new trade deals getting the go-ahead.

There will be opportunities to market your grain, and we want to encourage you to think about capturing those marketing rallies. Be disciplined about using seasonal tendencies to pull the trigger.

As the markets transition from fall to winter, farmers are urged to get comfortable with a few grain spreads.

Basis levels have been strong and have remained strong since harvest started.

Momentum traders need to see a consistent pattern of higher highs, or they will bail on their long position.
