Commodity Outlook and Risk Management

Author: Todd Davis

Planning Unit: Agr Economics

Major Program: Ag Marketing

Outcome: Initial Outcome

I am often included in Extension meetings to provide Commodity Market Outlook and an update on risk management alternatives and opportunities. These presentations have been at Princeton REC Field Days, multi-county grain days, and the state wheat, corn and soybean conferences. For 2016-17, I have informed farmers, lenders, and insurance agents in 17 field days or expos separate from the other risk management and marketing workshops initiated by the specialist. These presentations provide current information to help managers improve their marketing and risk management decision-making in a volatile market environment.
