Consider the fact that each year since 2014 both corn and soybean futures prices have peaked somewhere between early April and mid-July. Farmers were able to pre-harvest market a portion of their new crop corn and soybeans during the early growing season at prices that proved to be much higher than those received at harvest. Those farmers could have delivered priced bushels at or shortly after harvest and avoided additional storage and interest charges and generated necessary cash flow.
