Market Watch by Pat

Remember, we have continuous updates on the web

Grain markets have held most of their strength through harvest.

Export numbers remain strong to help support markets. Basis levels have been firm; all in all, prices have remained in a good range—corn unchanged from 9/30; and beans up 30 cents. The down side to all this is that another report is due out on November 12th. We’ll have to wait and see what numbers the government will come out with.

Are you watching for a particular price? We’ll be happy to watch any offers that you would like to place with us. Just call Pat at (574) 654-3116 or toll free at (866) 289-2676.

 

Soil Testing

It’s that time of year again

Now is a great time to get your soil testing done! We have different options available: grid sampling, individual field sampling, or you can pull the samples yourself and we will send them in for you. Call us with your soil sampling needs today!

Safety First

Be careful this harvest season. When we do repetitive actions, it’s very easy to speed up and not think about the consequences. Good customers are hard to find, we want to keep each and every one of you!

 

Seed at Harvest

How does your brand stack up?

The seed brands we sell, Syngenta, DeKalb, and Mycogen have all done well this year. We have had no standability problems, the corn has come in drier than other brands and yields are looking better than expected. Overall, we have been very pleased with the outcome so far.

Order your seed now! Financing is available for all of the seed companies we represent. Some of you may already be pre-approved for Syngenta through John Deere Credit. If you are interested in financing, please give us a call and we will help you.

Grain Checks

Again this year, we are writing grain checks on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you prefer to be paid differently, please let us know at the time of delivery. Also, if you don’t want paid until the end of your harvesting, remember to let us know when you are done! J
