Still Guessing on Grain Marketing? - Get Better Grain Marketing Skills

In this What’s Working in Ag segment, we highlight a growing trend we’re seeing across agriculture heading into 2026: farmers investing in skills instead of opinions.

Agris Academy is hosting a 2026 Winter Workshop on Merchandising and Futures Risk Management on February 19th in Baltic, South Dakota, with both in-person and online options available. What makes this workshop stand out is what it doesn’t promise.

This session focuses on:

Teaching real merchandising skills farmers can use immediately

Sharing practical “tricks of the trade” from professional risk managers

Helping producers build repeatable systems, not one-off trades

Creating skills that become a permanent asset to a farm or business

What it won’t do:

Predict market direction

Push trading strategies

React to daily headlines

In a year where volatility, tight margins, and uncertainty continue to dominate agriculture, farmers are realizing that better decisions come from better understanding — not better guesses.

This short segment explains why educational workshops like this are gaining momentum, why farmers are choosing to attend in person, and how developing merchandising discipline can change how farms manage risk long-term.
