Farmers took in current market trends and explored risk management options at the North Dakota Soybean Council’s Marketing Seminar for Soybeans. When it comes to soybean demand, trade and tariffs continue to dominate the news right now. NDSU crops economist Frayne Olson says the hard part about trade talk is “typical timing systems to sell the crop become out of whack.” Olson reminds farmers not to confuse short term shifts with long-term adjustments. “Because of the volatility we’re seeing right now, if you see an opportunity at least sell something. I know people hate to leave money on the table, but keep the cash flow coming in. Bankers will be looking for the ability to pay bills on time this year.”
