Grain marketing workshops will be offered at six sites in March to help grain producers create a written post-harvest marketing plan customized for their operation.

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 Decide NOW grain marketing smartphone App. 

Register at go.unl.edu/marketingworkshops or by calling the number listed with each location. Each workshop will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. Registrations are limited to 40 participants at each site. 

Workshops are funded by the Nebraska Soybean Board, Nebraska Corn Board, North Central Extension Risk Management Education Center, USDA-NIFA, and Nebraska Extension Innovation Funding.

For more information or assistance, contact Jessica Groskopf, Nebraska Extension Educator, 308-632-1247, e-mail jgroskopf2@unl.edu.
