The Opportunities Are Back. Are You Too Busy to See Them?

Harvest is underway, but grain marketing deserves more than whatever time is left at the end of the day. Strong soybean basis has Jon Prischmann questioning whether supplies are as comfortable as the numbers suggest, while a more active market is opening up strategies that were difficult to justify the past two years. Jon and Ryan Tungseth discuss what buyers' bids reveal, how to approach reowning sold bushels, and why a bullish outlook doesn't automatically make calls or bull spreads a good buy. They also look ahead to next year's crop and how time can work in a producer's favor, provided the strategy fits the risk. Recorded before the September 30 USDA report, this episode focuses on reading the market and preparing to act as opportunities develop.
