Does this sound like you?
“I want to learn more about grain marketing, but I feel a little bit like a fish out of water. Any market commentary I read just goes over my head, so I’m not sure where to start.”
You ask questions like:
“What is basis?”
“How do I read this futures quote screen–I don’t know what all this means?”
“What does it mean to ‘hedge using futures’?”
“What is an HTA contract?”
You know how I know you have these questions?
Because you’re not alone.
And that’s the precise reason I built the Cash Grain Marketing 101 and Grain Marketing 201 online courses. I created them to help you feel comfortable and confident with your understanding of cash grain marketing and futures and options.
Both courses are online and can be taken on your own time, at your own pace.

Grain Marketing 201
This course is all about futures and options. You feel confident in your understanding of cash grain marketing after taking Cash Grain Marketing 101, or from personal experience, but when it comes to futures and options…that’s where things get dicey.
This course is just what you need to help clear your futures and options confusion!
We’ll cover:

There’s no reason to wait any longer to build your understanding of the basics of cash grain marketing and hedging using futures and options.
You can enroll in just one course if you’re confident in where your current knowledge is and what you want to learn, or if you’ve already taken 101 previously! 201 builds off of the concepts learned in 101, so it’s critical to take 101 first (or be SUPER confident in your knowledge of the concepts covered in that course)!
OR, you can enroll in both courses with the ‘bundle’ option! In that case, you’ll enroll in both courses at the same time but you’ll start by taking 101 first, then jump right into 201 after you complete 101! This is my recommendation if you want to make sure you have a strong grain marketing knowledge foundation.
