Crop Outlook and Risk Management Update Webinars

Author: Todd Davis

Planning Unit: Agr Economics

Major Program: Ag Marketing

Outcome: Initial Outcome

I delivered five webinars providing farmers, extension agents, agricultural lenders, and farm policymakers on the commodity outlook for corn, soybeans, and wheat from November 2018 to May 2019. The extraordinary amount of rain that delayed harvest and delayed planting is providing marketing and risk management opportunities for Kentucky grain farmers to lock in better than expected profitability. These webinars have been well received and will continue in the 2019-20 fiscal year.
