If you plan on growing wheat this fall, we are knocking on $300/t. If you can hit 100 bu that's over $800/ac with no straw value. I have worked for less!

Hey on farm corn guys! Check those bins. Its been a mild winter and some problems are showing up. If you haven't cored you better do that before planting.It's kinda like my old saying, "if u r having trouble selling em something they want, God help u sell em something they don't want"

With good carry in the market, a decent strategy for direct ship on farm corn is to sell it for the better new crop price,curently $25 more so you are guaranteed movement before new crop, moving it in Oct. The good part is, if we do get a better old crop opportunity, we can sell the old crop again for quicker movement and deliver new crop against the first sale. We could also add some carry to that contract for spring ship. Call if you have questions. 

 We are also going to start our Average Price Contracts May 1. We will be using Wednesday closing prices for the following 7 weeks on all 3 commodities to establish the average price. All you need to do is commit a tonnage to the program by May 1 and you end up with a forward contract at the end for that tonnage. It is a firm commitment as we will be selling futures each week to hedge this. If we see a big spike higher along the way, we can go ahead and price the balance out at that point. Theoretically it should get some pricing done during the seasonal rally. How effective it is really depends on timing. If we only get one high priced week, that price may be watered down with 6 lower priced ones. This is one more tool in your grain marketing toolbox, and is a good option to sell some of your production.  How much should you sell?  Probably 10-20% of your anticipated production would be a good start. It's better than doing nothing at this time of year, but you should still use target orders with a plan to recalibrate if they are not filled by late June. Call with any questions.
