Grain marketing workshops will be offered at two Nebraska sites this fall to help grain producers minimize losses during this time of low prices.

Nebraska Extension Educators will present location- and commodity-specific marketing information. Topics include developing a written marketing plan, and understanding basis and carrying charges. The workshops feature the Marketing in a New Era simulator and the Grain Marketing Plan smartphone application. Learn more about how the Marketing in a New Era interactive tool can help you at the meeting and read up on its development in the Oct. 19 Cornhusker Economics, Successful Extension Meetings and Innovative Economic Research: Grain Marketing Simulations.

Register at go.unl.edu/marketingworkshops or by calling Robert Tigner at 308-345-3390. Each workshop will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. Complimentary lunch is provided. Workshops, which are funded by the Nebraska Corn Board, are limited to 40 participants each.
