Stronger markets to kick off the week. The $220 targets orders at Campbellford hit yesterday. It would be good to have an action plan in place before you head to the field. You like autosteer on tractors, it's even better on marketing. We are also going to start our average pricing contracts May 1. We will be using Wed. closing price for the next 7 weeks on all 3 commodities. All you need to do is commit a tonnage to the program and you end up with a forward contract at the end for the set amount. It is a firm commitment as we will be selling futures each week to hedge this. If we see a big spike higher along the way, we can go ahead and price the balance out at that point. Theoretically it should get some pricing done during the seasonal rally. How effective it is really depends on timing. If we only get one high priced week, that price may be watered down with 6 low priced ones. I think it's better than doing nothing at this time of year but still think target orders with a plan to recalibrate if not filled late June is the go to plan. Call with any questions.
