FAQs

What futures matter most to grain farms?

For most grain operations, start with revenue markets and the input markets that drive costs.

  • Revenue: Corn, Soybeans, Wheat (Chicago/SRW, Kansas City/HRW, Minneapolis/HRS). Canadian growers should also track Canola.
  • Key inputs (costs): ULSD (diesel) for fuel, Propane for grain drying, and Fertilizer (Urea, DAP).
  • Also useful: Natural Gas (fertilizer feedstock), Crude/Refined products (broader energy trend), and USD/CAD if you sell or buy across the border.

How do I use futures to estimate cash price?

Use your local basis to translate board price to a farmgate estimate.

Formula: Estimated Cash = Futures + Basis

  • Pick the delivery month your buyer is quoting.
  • Find the current futures price for that month.
  • Add your local basis (it can be negative or positive).

Example: If Dec Corn = $5.20 and your basis is –$0.25, estimated cash ≈ $4.95.

Tip: Basis changes over time—always check posted bids for actual offers.

What affects basis in my area?

Basis = local reality. Common drivers:

  • Local supply & demand: harvest pressure, on-farm/storage availability, end-user needs.
  • Logistics: rail/barge capacity, river levels, truck availability, diesel costs.
  • Buyer competition & margins: ethanol/crush plants, mills, exporters.
  • Quality & specs: moisture, protein, damage.
  • Seasonality & weather: storms, freeze/thaw, road bans.
  • Currency: Canadian Dollar (CAD/USD) shifts can move cross-border basis.

Should I track diesel/propane alongside grain prices?

Yes. They’re big, volatile input costs. Watching ULSD (diesel) and Propane next to grain helps you:

  • Budget and lock in fuel/drying costs when prices dip.
  • Protect margins by timing purchases relative to crop price moves.
  • Plan harvest/drying with fewer surprises.

Which months are “new-crop” vs “old-crop”?

“Old-crop” = grain already in the bin/current marketing year. “New-crop” = the upcoming harvest. Typical references:

  • Corn: Dec = new-crop; Mar/May/Jul = old-crop.
  • Soybeans: Nov = new-crop; Jan/Mar/May = old-crop.
  • Wheat:
    • Chicago SRW & KC HRW: Jul = new-crop; Sep/Dec/Mar/May = old-crop.
    • Minneapolis Spring Wheat (HRS): Sep = new-crop; Dec/Mar/May/Jul = old-crop.
  • Canola (ICE): Nov = new-crop; Jan/Mar/May = old-crop.

Note: Local harvest timing and buyer conventions can vary—match the month your buyer uses.
