Summer Solstice Score Card

There has been a lot happen in the months since I began blogging again, and I wanted to summarize as best as I could how the market behaved, and what my recommendations produced.  Except for the first soybean sale recommendation which was texted, all the recommendations are documented on this blog. 

2016 Soybeans

I never meant/z to blog so much about any one commodity, but soybeans have certainly provided the most material to write about.  My first recommendation went out via text message on April 12 when I recommended selling 25% of your expected soybean production.  A second 25% sale was recommended on April 18.   No more recommendations were made until the parabola broke on June 10, when I recommended to sell the remaining 50% at $11.60.

2017 Soybeans

In addition to the sales of the 2016 soybean crop, I also made a recommendation to step into the 2017 soybean crop with a 10% sale at $10.05 on June 8. 

2016 Corn

We did not make a corn sale until the market peaked on June 13 when the market reached $4.45.  I recommended a 25% sale at the time.  In the days that followed corn was horribly beaten up as you can see. 

2017 Corn

On June 8, I also made a swing for the fences recommendation to sell 10% of your expected corn production at $4.30.  We got within 7.75 cents of that mark, but did not quite get there.
