Then crop price increases are a mistaken reaction by wall street based on faulty intelligence on the impact of fertilizer costs.
please show us the records of your current short on the corn markets where you are exploiting this mistake. Or just ask your woman to send us your balls because clearly you never use them
My trades are doing great. Not sure I’d be short corn long term considering a lot of acres will get switched to lower input soybeans/sorghum unless there’s a serious corn rally to buy corn acres ahead of planting.
Farmers don’t get to pass along the additional costs of fuel or fertilizer. The guys trading at CBOT don’t care whether farmers are selling grain for more than the cost of production.
Crop prices are up more because of speculative buying which always happens in these situations. Also because the price of biofuels will make them more attractive than petroleum. It’s given farmers a much needed opportunity to sell stored grain and forward market this fall’s harvest at levels we haven’t seen since early 2024.
Farmers that still have livestock actually have a cash problem right now, as in they need to get rid of it to avoid tax problems.
