Total Farm Marketing market analyst Naomi Blohm advises farmers to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves. “Unless there’s a dramatic weather issue with South America or something really unforeseen with the elections, keep abreast of the seasonal situation with prices.” Seasonal price patterns can provide marketing opportunities. “If you’re thinking about cash sales for old crop/new crop that Christmas timeframe is a good one. Mother’s Day to Father’s Day is your next window. You’re busy with life, but a lot of times that’s when your best marketing opportunities are there so focus on those and be ready to pull the trigger.” Blohm was part of RRFN’s Wednesday Market Outlook Forum.
