EP 54: River/Rail Issues, Great Harvest, & Farmer Sentiment

“I would buy the beans from you, and this is the price I would pay for them, but I can’t.” What in the world is going on when it comes to moving this harvest? On this episode of the High Ground, Powered by Premier Companies, Sal Sama and Ryan Priest are joined by returning guest, Aaron Bledsoe. As the grain merchandiser for Premier Companies, he’s been in the thick of it with the harvest.

Aaron, Sal, and Ryan will shed light on a variety of hot topics including what’s happening on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, potential issues with the rails, and why grain elevators are backing up. Aaron gives advice about locking in bids, sheds light on what needs to happen to fix the river issues, and shares an update on the local harvest. Aaron will also also explain what the basis means, what’s happening now, and where it’s going. If you’re wondering what to do with your corn and beans and when you should pull the trigger on getting rid of them, you don’t want to miss this episode!
