3 Futures Markets An auction market in which participants buy and sell standardized future contracts Terms are set, except for price Multiple delivery months (and years) traded at once TERMINATION: The business day prior to the 15th calendar day of the contract month.

5 Delivery Period Futures contracts specify delivery periods, usually the last 2 weeks for the contract. You will not be able to contract during the delivery period Elevators often roll to the next contract before or during the delivery period Grain buyers may have multiple delivery periods per contract
6 Elevators may charge a different basis for each delivery period/futures contract. Cash Price = Futures Price + Basis UNL Basis Data

8 Basis Basis represents: Transportation and handling costs to move product from current location to point of delivery Storage costs Expected supply & demand Cattle Supply & demand of transportation services Variations in grade Unavailability of substitutes Source: Johnson, J., T. Holman and M. Stockton. Historical Crop Prices, Seasonal Patterns and Futures Basis for the Nebraska Panhandle

11 Futures Price and Basis Futures prices and basis typically move opposite of one another This relationship is not 1:1, i.e. a $0.01/bu. increase in futures price does not always equate to a $0.01/bu. decrease in basis However, in rare/extreme events like the 2012 drought they may trend together
12 Pre-Harvest and Post-harvest grain marketing plans can executed simultaneously Photo from
13 Pre-harvest marketing Sell during growing season, when prices are traditionally higher than harvest Corn & Soybeans - Plan should start around the end of January and run for 16 weeks Ed Usset, University of Minnesota Look at the new crop contract contract closest to expiration at harvest Dec (Z) for Corn Nov (X) for Soybeans Jul (N) for Winter Wheat
14 Dates: When are CORN prices highest? Pre-Harvest
15 Corn Trading Chart
16 Post-harvest marketing Sell after commodity is harvested Corn & soybeans should be priced by July 1 Before the August WASDE report Price grain using the nearby contract (the contract closest to expiration) OR deferred contracts In commercial storage be aware of differences in basis and storage when pricing on deferred contracts

23 Carrying Charge Carrying charge price difference between futures contract delivery months Future Contract Current Contract = Carrying Charge
24 Differences Between Contracts Small or negative carrying charge Negative also called Inverted Lower demand in the future Large carrying charge More demand in the future The carrying charge must be larger than your estimated storage costs for you to hold the product until the later date!
25 $0.11/bu From Frontier Cooperative 1/14/2019 for Mead, NE
26 When is the carrying charge big enough to profit from? 1 Carrying Charge= Future Contract Current Contract 2 Interest Cost = Current Contract Price X Interest Rate X # of months in storage/12 3 Carrying Charge/Interest Cost > 1.40, Sell the Carry
27 $0.11/bu 1 2 Carrying Charge= Future Contract Current Contract Interest Cost with a 6% rate= Current Contract Price X Interest Rate X # of months in storage/12 3 Carrying Charge/Interest Cost > 1.40, Sell the Carry From Frontier Cooperative 1/14/2019 for Mead, NE
28 ANSWER 1. $3.45-$3.34=$ $3.34 X 6% X 3 12 = $ = 2.196

Guaranteed Revenue = $ /acre insurance premium 2018 prices, with 2017 Saunders County USDA NASS Yield for corn

Contract Price $3.50/bu. INSURANCE Revenue to count Actual Production 50 bu. /acre Harvest Price $4.00/bu. Pre-Harvest Marketing Elevator Buyback 41 bu./acre Difference $0.50/bu. + $0.10 fee $523.61/acre $318.50/acre $200.00/acre - $24.60/acre Insurance Payment: $ $ = $323.61/acre Remaining After Buyback: $200 + $ $24.60 = $ prices, with 2017 Saunders County USDA NASS Yield for corn
34 Elevator Buyback Scenarios If contract price is less than current price, one could: buy back difference between contract price and current price plus fees Roll undeliverable contracts to next year If contract price is greater than current price Maybe get a check from the elevator for difference or percent of difference? Roll to next year Walk away (elevator gets 100% of gain)
35 How to Make an Action Plan that Works!! A grain marketing plan is a WRITTEN, proactive, strategic plan to sell your grain. Plans should consider: Cash flow needs Financial goals Storage capacity Farm logistics Risk appetite

38 Marketing Plan Statements Sell # of bushels by date at futures price plus expected basis minus storage expense for delivery on date using marketing tool.
39 Example: North Platte, NE Pre-Harvest Plan Insured 500 acres, 150 APH, RP, 70% Level 75,000 X 0.70 = 52,500 Maximum Pre-price Estimated cost of production: $3.50 Expected harvest basis = -$0.50 Average price cash target = $3.50 Sell # of bushels by date at (futures price + expected harvest basis) for delivery at harvest using marketing contract. Price 10,000bu. before February 1 at $3.30 ($ $0.50) for delivery at harvest Price 10,000bu. before March 1 at $3.40 ($ $0.50) for delivery at harvest Price 10,000bu. before April 1 at $3.50 ($ $0.50) for delivery at harvest Price 10,000bu. before May 1 at $3.60 ($ $0.50) for delivery at harvest Price 10,000bu. before June 1 at $3.70 ($ $0.50) for delivery at harvest This example is provided for demonstration purposes only and is not intended to be used for specific grain marketing strategies. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Grain marketing involves risk, and you should fully understand those risks before pricing grain.
40 Marketing Plans Quantity Date Price Tool
41 Quantity: Break into multiple units S: Don t sell everything at once.* Expected production: 15,000 bu /5 sales goals = 3,000 bu. per sale *unless you have to or the price is too good to pass up Pre-harvest G: Never sell more than you have insured Expected production: 150bu APH X 100 acres = 15,000 bu Pre-harvest market: 15,000bu X 70% coverage = 10, 500 bu Post-harvest G: Only sell grain in the bin
42 Dates: Post-Harvest G: Meet cash flow needs & beat harvest price Avoid the call method of marketing! S: Have corn and soybeans priced by the release of the August WASDE report. S: Don t sell everything at once.* *unless you have to or the price is too good to pass up
43 Dates: When are prices highest? Post- Harvest: Look at the nearby contract contract closest to expiration Seasonal Price Patterns Harvest Low Spring Rally
44 Dates: Pre-harvest G: Sell during growing season, when prices are traditionally higher. G: Price grain above breakeven, or at market highs. S: Have corn and soybeans priced by the release of the August WASDE report.
45 Dates: Pre-Harvest Marketing Statement Sell # of bushels by date at futures price plus expected basis at harvest using marketing tool.
46 Price Goals How much can this crop contribute to your income this year? What is a realistic price goal? Market Outlook Marketing Service USDA WASDE (Dec. 2018) Corn $ $3.95 Wheat $ $5.25 Soybeans $ $9.35
47 Price Goals Know your cost of production Establish your own breakeven UNL Crop Budgets budgets Bank cash flows
48 Price Goals Establish an average target price you are willing to sell at Average CASH Target $3.50 Sell equal units at: $3.30, $3.40, $3.50, $3.60, $3.70 Cash price = futures + basis
