Our Grain Marketing Plans










This page on our Grain Marketing Plans Blog will have our mock marketing plans for our mock farms.  Hopefully this design will help you when writing yours.  We will have various fictional farms that will have different marketing styles.

Vinny Vegas - Simply sells his cash grain a day before the January USDA crop report; he then re-owns with 3 leg trade that includes sellling put options slightly below the market and using that to purchase bull call spreads.  He will try to do 1/2 his bushels with July options and the other 1/2 he will sell July puts to buy nearby serial options Jan options that expire around 10 days after the USDA report.  The last couple years his strategies didn't work at all; but in 2008 he managed to get well over $100 a bushel for his spring wheat.  (He sold at the money July puts to buy March call options and did so at a 5-1 ratio; so when spring wheat got to 20-25; he was getting 5 times that)

This year he has 100,000 bushels of spring wheat, 100,000 bushels of corn, and 100,000 bushels of soybeans.  On January 10-11th he will place the above strategies; on all of his old crop grain.

Neutral Nick has another unique style.  He tries to sell all of his grain on July 1st; but in the meantime he uses delta neutral hedging ideas to try and collect premium.  With the recent run up in prices he has the following plan for his wheat; 1st off he has HRW wheat; but he likes to use CBOT options because of liquidity.  So he places GTC orders to buy 10 KWN and buy 10 WN at 50 cents and then again at 75 cents; if filled it keeps him hedged in correct contract.

He then decides that joy to the season and he places hedges that create a position that leaves him with a net delta position of short about 100,000 contracts of each corn, wheat, and beans.  Thus leaving him net sold out.  His style is over aggresive but his plan is to simple adjust as needed to keep his net delta short aprox 100,000 of each grain thus basically leaving him sold out. 

The follow ups will be to keep position near a net of zero; i.e. if we rally he will sell more puts......if we break he will sell more calls.


In the wheat example if we stay between 7.00 and 8.50 he adds over 2.40 a bushel to his price; nearly a quarter of a million to his bottom line.


Below is a copy of the table used for the three commodities; look for him to add trades ever week or so to keep position neautral; keep in mind that his exposure or risk is huge if he doesn't follow things up as he runs risk of having way too much sold or owning more then he orginally did.  This is a strategy that will and could take more then just a little margin or line of credit.

  1. Relationships are meant to go a long way, when you feel the connection emotionally rather than physical attraction. But, since relationship means a bond between two people, it becomes evident that both should have same feelings about each other if they want to pursue the relation in future. If not all, then at least they should have few things in common, with which they can break the ice and start conversation which can go on and on depending on your gut feeling. Although, when women try to ignore men, which can even be done by Brisbane escorts in certain circumstances, men do not get their intention behind doing all this.
    Men take it as first meet nervousness or women not being frank enough to talk to him as Perth escorts, but they are far away from the reality. Here, for all the men out there who don’t know what these signals actually mean, we have scribble down a list of few behaviour that you should look upon to know whether the girl for whom you are about to seed the feelings is into you with the same intent or not – best Newcastle escorts.
    Making the last minute cancellation
    You have a date scheduled with her and then at the last moment you receive a text stating that she has some urgent work and she will not be able to make it with Sydney escorts. This is when you should have your first hint. For a woman who has absolute fascination towards a man, nothing can be more important than meeting him and if she sends you the above text, then either she is actually busy or pretending to be busy fun with Adelaide escorts. If she is actually stuck somewhere, she will try to schedule the date for some other day, however, if you don’t get a call or text for re-scheduling the date, then you should get the hint.
    More than a day and still no reply
    You have texted her about something and she does not get back to you within 24 hours, then you should get a clear cut indication that you are not on top of her mind. If Melbourne escorts has some feelings developed for you, she will at least reply with set templates of mobile saying that she is busy or will talk to you later, but no message from her means; she is not the one worth of waiting.
    Says NO, to walk her home
    Walking together can reap the seed of confidence in the relationship and this is what all women love, even by Townsville escorts, to walk with the person with whom they are comfortable and especially when it’s the instance of walking her home. However, if she asks you to leave and she will be comfortable walking home alone, this means that she does not share the same comfort level with you and you can part your ways from here.
    There are various other indications like she tries to set you up with some of her friend or mentions about her ex for every reference – Canberra escorts, which you should seek in the girl with whom you are trying to aggravate your love.
