Nebraska Extension in Morrill County

Nebraska Extension will host 2024 grain marketing workshops for farmers in Oshkosh and Crawford.

Do you ever wonder what analysts are really saying about the grain markets? Nebraska Extension Educator, Jessica Groskopf, will use real audio and video examples. This workshop will help you get the “market talk” decoded. She will discuss basis, bears, bulls, long, short, and more!

 “With grain prices falling, it is time for farmers to sharpen their marketing skills,” Groskopf said. “This workshop is an opportunity to look at the coming year and the forces driving the current grain market conditions.”

 The program is free to attend. Pre-registration is requested one week prior to each workshop.

Nebraska Extension will host a webinar on Monday and Thursday evenings in late January and February 2024 on the fundamentals of knowing and calculating annual cow costs.

Significant increases in input costs challenge producers to examine the cost of production and identify where there may be opportunities to adjust the production system. Calculating costs and breaking them into categories gives an understanding of where there may be an opportunity to make changes.

Topics to be covered will include:
