Description
Many farmers, grain elevator managers and others closely related to agriculture have concluded that so long as they do not plan to trade in grain futures, there is no reason for them to try to understand futures prices. It is, however, of great importance for anyone who markets grain or livestock to understand what the futures prices are indicating. Cash and futures prices are nearly always related at the country level as well as the terminal and export level. Because of this relation, the understanding of grain futures can be an important aid in evaluating everyday marketing decisions.
