SALES ALERT – 2025 Corn
After a choppy and lower night, corn rallied in early trade to hit the standing Sales Target for the final 10% of your 2025 crop at $4.75. With crude falling sharply, the 2026 crop going in the ground at a quick pace and corn stalling at the upper end of the war range; it is time to clean out the bins. Please look at the Sales Target table below to see the updated 2026 and 2027 targets since they are close enough that a big Sunday night open could rally all three markets to hit them.
