MO farmer focused on marketing grain

A Missouri farmer says he’s focused on marketing his grain while he waits to plant. Josh Johnson tells Brownfield he didn’t expect current high price levels for corn and soybeans. 

“I almost am more nervous marketing in markets like this because there’s so much to be lost verses when you’re on the other end and you feel like you’re in low prices,” he said. “You’re looking for high ones and usually don’t have as much to lose.”

The east-central Missouri corn and soybean grower said he’s keeping a close eye on when to market both commodities.

“Right now, when to start making some forward sales is top concern to me,” Johnson said.

Johnson said it’s an exciting time for farmers because of the grain prices. July corn futures closed at $6.57 and ½ on Monday and July soybeans ended the day at $15.39 and ¼.
