2026 Beans
The 2026 crop Sales Target for another 10% against the November contract at $10.90 was hit shortly after the open. This will take sales to 45% complete for new crop beans. Bean prices have rallied 40-45 cents in 2026 and are $1 over the 2025 trade war low. REWARD THE RALLY!!!
Also consider pricing some old crop corn as prices rallied within 3-4 cents of the Sales Targets before hitting technical resistance and farmer hedging.Please call us with questions.
