Futures and risk in selling grain 1977 crops
Iowa State University economist Bob Wisner guides growers on forward pricing and hedging for 1977 production. He notes new crop corn futures in early June 1978 show mild strength if late summer weather is dry, while new crop soybeans trade around $1.80 below old crop. Two selling methods exist: forward contracts with elevators and Chicago futures hedging, each with cautions. Storage timing and delivery options are discussed, plus a reference to ISU PM-687 for more on futures use.
