SACKETS HARBOR -- A training session has been scheduled Aug. 30 to help grain producers learn more about marketing of their crops after harvest.
The one-day workshop, Winning the Game, focuses on planning and pricing using real-life examples to illustrate the pros and cons of different pricing and marketing approaches.
The session is set for 4 to 7 p.m. Aug. 30 at North Harbor Dairy, 14471 County Rt. 145, Sackets Harbor.
Post-harvest pricing tools include three choices: sell grain at harvest, hold grain in storage to sell later, or hold grain in storage and "sell the carry." The question is how to decide which to use.
Participants will get an update on the market within the context of long-term market and price trends; learn how to compare options; and test and improve their marketing skills with a fast-paced simulation exercise. John Berry, Pennsylvania's grain marketing Cooperative Extension agent, will lead the sessions.
Registration is required. They will serve dinner at no charge. Contact Corey Hayes at 788-8450, ext. 260 or cmh298@cornell.edu.
