HEADS UP! With all that has changed over the last few weeks, we are going to move session one back to April 1, 2026. This way we are able to build a better plan with the USDA numbers in hand.

Marketing grain is one of the hardest parts of farming and we're here to help make it a little easier. If you missed our winter marketing class but still want something that will help build a robust plan, this is your chance.

Class one will give you:

➡ A marketing basics refresher
➡ Current fundamental update and price outlook
➡ Contract types and how they fit into your marketing plan
➡ Cost of carry and what spreads are telling you
➡ Your non-negotiables
➡ How to use target orders and incremental scale selling
➡ Build out a marketing plan that let's you sleep at night

Come with questions. Leave with a plan.
