Part #1 - Episode 80: Grain Marketing in Uncertain Times

Join Tracy and Dave in this three-part interview as they take a look at the current farming economy and discuss why now, more than ever, farmers need to be marketing their grain as the key strategy to unlocking higher profits on their farming operation. They discuss the obstacles that farmers often face when it comes to marketing their grain, and why these common behaviors tend to cause farmers to freeze up and miss securing higher prices for their grain. Dave gives actionable advice on how farmers can overcome the fears that are associated with grain marketing. It is these same fears that hold farmers back and cause missed revenue opportunities. They round the interview off with a lively discussion about the power of an advisor, and how even the best at their craft use a coach to train, mentor and improve their performance. Dave asks a million-dollar question to get farmers thinking: “What if Tiger Woods didn’t have a coach?” Where would he be? Are you interested in unlocking higher profits on your farm? If so, you won’t want to miss this lively discussion between Tracy and Dave.

Part #1 – Grain Marketing in Uncertain Times Dave walks us through what is happening in the world and how these variables are wreaking havoc on the markets. They chat about each of the main commodities — canola, barley, wheat, corn, and soybeans — and Dave shares his thoughts on where we are at and why. Tracy asks Dave to put his wizard cap on and share what’s in store for farmers in 2020 and 2021. His answer is the exact reason why farmers need to create a grain marketing plan. With all the variables that we cannot control, which seems like almost everything these days, learning how to market your grain is truly the key to unlocking higher profits for what you already grow. Dave is one of the best at what he does, and we are so happy that he joined us on “The Impact Farming Show.” Thank you, Dave!
