- If the market does not touch the barrier, and the market is at or above the cap price on the end date of the contract, the offer will be priced in addition to the enrolled bushels.

Thank you for participating in the AgriVisor Insight Program.  In addition to the E-Alerts we send out and in an effort to enhance our communications to our clients, we wanted to provide you with an update of the current market value of your position.

As of August 1 the AgriVisor Insight™ Program in corn is currently 64% hedged with a floor at $4.21, giving the Insight program cumulative average of $4.17 based off the December 2010 Corn Futures.  The AgriVisor Insight™ program for soybeans is currently 68% sold with a floor at $10.48, with cumulative average of $10.35 based off the November 2010 Soybean Futures.

 

Keep in mind, will have 100% of the bushels priced off of CZ0/SX0 futures by September 15th.  Our goal is to provide our customers with a means of diversifying the way they market their grain.  If you have old-crop bushels to sell, or you are not comfortable with the amount of new crop that you have sold and would like to entertain the idea of locking in a floor price while maintaining upside potential, give your elevator a call or call us at 1.800.676.5799 and we'll have one of our Risk Management Specialists contact you to see if we can help.

 

We appreciate your participation in the AgriVisor Insight™ program and look forward to helping you diversify the way you mange price risk for your farming operation.


Best Regards,
The AgriVisor Team
