With extreme heat passing through the Corn Belt, the potential for a huge corn crop is diminishing. These conditions are supporting high corn prices right now, says Mark Gold, president of Top Third Ag Marketing.
“We’re certainly in a frenzy period right now with the hot, dry weather,” he says. “One good rain in this market and the market could head south in a minute.”
Gold says the high prices are worth protecting.
“I know you have incredible profitability in your corn and soybean acres right now,” he says. “Not protecting that is a big marketing mistake.”
Listen in as Gold provides marketing insight and advice.
Gold, Bob Utterback and Ken Ferrie joined host Al Pell for this week's U.S. Farm Report Marketing Roundtable. Watch it online this weekend at www.USFarmReport.com.
