Maryland Grain Marketing

Corn Harvest

Effectively marketing grain is as important as growing the crop itself. By understanding your cost of production, market trends and pricing tools you can make profitable sales decisions.

Upcoming Marketing Workshops

Winning the Game Workshops are being held through the fall and winter!

Do you have a marketing plan or know when to pull the trigger?

This workshop focuses on practicing marketing skills. During the session you will review an actual marketing plan and learn how crop insurance, target dates and target prices can help you more consistently secure a good average crop price. A market simulation game in this workshop demonstrates how a marketing plan can work and how to react to real-life market fluctuations.
