It’s time to start marketing for the 2022 New Crop utilizing the Average Price Contract.
The 20 weeks of pricing runs from February 9-June 22, 2022.
We Are Offering Ludlow Coop’s Average Pricing Program or You Can Pick Your Average Pricing Weeks
Average Price Contract
Helps you create a base for a marketing plan on your 2022 crop
- Price grain when average historical seasonal values are at their highest (January through June)
- Still leave a good portion of your grain to market (Recommend to commit no more than 20-35% of an average crop)
- A good way to help your landlords get some pricing done and take the emotion out of pricing grain
- Extends the producers marketing window, selling ahead instead of after harvest (19 months vs. 9 months).
