Corn: PCG's Recommended Marketing Percentages:

  • Old Crop Corn: 90% sold or marketed via long straight July 12’ corn put options when July 12’ corn futures achieve $6.50 (sales target) or better.

  • New Crop Corn: 65% sold or marketed via sales at the elevator (either cash or HTA contract depending on the elevator). Current sales target derived off the December 12’ corn futures contract. (Sales target) $5.75 or better.

  • 2013 Corn: 25% sold or marketed via sales at the elevator (HTA contract). Current sales target derived off the December 13’ corn futures contract. (Sales target) $5.75 or better.



Soybeans: PCG's Recommended Marketing Percentages:
  • Old Crop Soybeans: 100% sold or marketed via cash sales at the elevator. Current sales target derived off the July 12’ soybean futures contract. Sales target $15.00 or better.

  • New Crop Soybeans: 85% sold via the elevator. Current sales target derived off the November 12’ soybean futures contract. Sales target $14.00 or better.



Livestock: PCG's Recommended Marketing Percentages:
  • Live Cattle: 90% sold or marketed via the packer and or a combination of put options/sold futures via your own account in your preferred month. Would NOT recommend “a lot” of margin risk.

  • Feeder Cattle: 85% marketed via downside protection in put option ownership or sold futures in your preferred month. Near all time highs, too much downside risk in our opinion!
