Two upcoming Nebraska Extension workshops in Lancaster County will help farmers develop grain marketing plans for 2023. Both will be held Jan. 18 in Lincoln at the Lancaster County Extension Office, 444 Cherrycreek Rd Suite A.

Do you ever wonder what analysts are really saying about the grain markets? The first workshop, “Grain Marketing Lingo,” will be held from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Using real audio and video examples, this workshop will help participants get the “market talk” decoded. Nebraska Extension educator Jessica Groskopf will discuss basis, bears, bulls, long, short and more.

The second workshop, “Grain Marketing – Playing the Long Game,” will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. In this workshop, Cory Walters, associate professor in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Department of Agricultural Economics, will explore how grain markets have evolved over time and ways to incorporate this information into your 2023 grain marketing decision making and production cost environment.

Both workshops are free to attend, but registration is required by Jan. 16. To register, call the Lancaster County Extension Office at (402) 441-7180.
