Episode Description:
The late spring is top-of-mind for farmers and traders. AgCountry Farm Credit Services Market Education Specialist Katie Tangen says the weather will influence the acreage mix. Hedging is encouraged, but Tangen said there are some considerations. “One of those is the amount of capital available to hold a hedge position or to play in options or is it better to look at a hedge-to-arrives,” said Tangen. “At this point in the year, we would guys holding old crop hedges and new crop hedges and that tightens the liquidity even further.” A conversation with your lender is advised.
