Winning the Game
At the Winning the Game workshop, producers play a one-year interactive marketing simulation game using actual prices for a selected year and the actual yield for a case farm for that same year.
Discussion will include:
- Seasonal price patterns in cash grain marketing decisions,
- Using crop revenue insurance and loan deficiency payments (LDPs) as part of a grain marketing plan,
- And a "real life" test of participant skills using actual historical grain prices.

Marketing Stored Grain
After learning about forward pricing and the role of crop insurance in the Winning the Game session, participants can attend the Marketing Stored Grain session.
This program takes a practical approach to post harvest marketing by monitoring the current environment and adapting to market signals and incentives through a market simulation.
Discussion will include:
- Post harvest seasonality of grain prices,
- Carrying charges and selling the carry,
- And evaluating the cost of stored grain.

Launching Your Marketing Plan
Workshops will start in January 2007 as a continuation of Winning the Game and Marketing Stored Grain where producers work to develop a marketing plan for their agricultural operation.
