Uncertainty in grain markets can make it difficult to know when to sell. The Averaging Contract provides a disciplined, structured approach to forward marketing, helping you capture strong seasonal prices while maintaining flexibility.

This contract prices bushels at the closing new crop futures price every day from April 15 to July 15, a timeframe that has historically been one of the best windows for grain marketing. In fact, over the past nine out of ten years, this strategy has resulted in a higher price than the Fall price for corn.

By establishing a futures-only position, the contract also gives you delivery flexibility and the opportunity to benefit from basis appreciation. It’s a simple way to manage risk and ensure a well-rounded marketing plan.

Sign-up is open now, with a deadline of April 11. The fee is 7 cents per bushel on both corn and soybeans.
