Farmers are facing the need to sell corn for spring cash flow into a weak market that continues lower over the last few days.

The calendar, the weather man, and the bean counter are all fighting for attention in the market this week. So far the weather man is winning.

Two weeks from now we may know more about this grain market, but it may be too late. Catch this market while there is fear in it.

The grain market is just "mostly dead." We still have the race to find out what the average crop is. If we have over-estimated the size, prices will stabilize. If the huge crop is really rolling in, the worst is still ahead of us.

Now is a time for hoping, and for looking at grain marketing option strategies. We can’t afford these corn and soybean prices long-term, and we have been too good at production for good prices.
