Description
What is the Women Marketing Grain course?

With unpredictable crop prices and tight margins, marketing
can make the difference in the profitability of corn and
soybean production. How well farmers get paid for a year’s
worth of work can be wrapped up in just a few marketing
decisions. In this course, women will learn how to manage
price risk using tools like forward, futures and options
contracts, alternative marketing contracts, and crop
insurance.
