Extension economist Orlen Grunwald told about 35 farmers at a breakfast session that wheat corn and soybean prices are stabilizing and may stay flat for the year. He warned of poor communications, noted weather could lift wheat, and advised against forward contracts. He suggested cash sales or government reserve programs if cash options vanish.
Grunwald predicts higher corn prices after April depending on March and April reserve actions with summer peak in prices tied to storage rates. He sees strong soybeans due to bumper South American crop but expects limited price declines amid potential large scale double cropping after wheat in the Southeast. Ray Davis was delayed in speaking about cattle markets due to communications issues, rescheduled for March breakfast.
