Alan May Producers Quotations

We do get a lot of questions ranging from how to price corn to how to price cattle and, quite frankly, about the farm bill as well. And from a marketing standpoint there's no question the farm bill will have an effect on how producers manage in the next five six to seven years.

No matter what strategy is employed in either corn or soybeans, producers must understand their production risk and how crop insurance, particularly the revenue products, can aid them in making sales prior to harvest.

With carryover supplies of corn expected to be more than 2 billion bushels, producers should plan to make some sales sometime from January to May.

The changes just simply continue and so its just different kinds of technologies in the last four to five years and what's coming up in the last four to five that will really make a difference for a lot of agriculture producers in this state and throughout the country.
