Simplifying the Marketing of 2010 Corn Production

I want to take some time this month and present some ideas and some tips for marketing your 2010 corn crop. It has been said that opinions are like noses, everyone has one. Well that may not be exactly how the saying goes, but you get the idea.  There are many ideas available when it comes to marketing your corn production. Most will be right some of the time and some will be right most of the time. A problem can arise when a producer attempts to create a marketing plan from the information of far too many sources. This can many times lead to "paralysis by analysis".

To Greece with L-O-V-E.

L is for the way you love to spend. O is for Oh gosh it has to end. V is very bad budgetary. E is even more cuts that even unions can't ignore. Cash is all that they can give to you. Bailouts are just one but maybe two. Save Greece, the rest can make it, fix your budget and please don't break it. Love was made for Greece and you.

There is nothing like a Greek love story. Greece got a lot of love just ahead of Valentine's Day as the EU says they will stand behind Greece and their mountainous piles of debt. They will stand behind them despite the fact that they are angry at them for running their debt last year to 12.7% of their GDP even though the EU's limit is 3%. How romantic!!

Special Report; Trading June Lean Hogs

The pork supply/demand table has improved dramatically over the past eight to twelve months. Currently, pork production for 2010 is projected to be down 2% from 2009 while exports are forecast to rise 8% compared to actual exports last year. One year ago the hogs were suffering from recessionary demand woes and extra production due to herd liquidation. Roughly 5% of the U.S. hog breeding stock has been liquidated over the last couple of years.
