For the first episode of season four, we taped the segment live at the Nebraska Ag Expo.
Joined by Glennis McClure, UNL Farm, and Ranch Management Analyst, and Luke Beckman, Grain Sales Manager at Central Valley Ag, we explore the topic of crop budgets and the strategic use of these budgets in grain marketing.
The 2024 University of Nebraska–Lincoln crop budget projections serve as a guide for producers in Nebraska, offering insights into cash and total costs per unit of production.
Glennis and Luke provide invaluable insights into deciphering these budgets, considering machinery costs, ownership variables, and service pricing, essential for maximizing profitability in grain marketing.
At Grain IQ, we understand that while farmers excel in grain production, mastering the art of marketing is equally crucial for sustained profitability. Join us as we equip you with a comprehensive understanding of grain marketing.
