My positions are long 2 corn short 1 soybean for each increment and I'm riding it into the report
Some with the new corn limits of 25 cents like a 3/1 ratio. I'm playing the
old ratio I grew up with at 2/1. I was able to take profits on the outright long corn on Monday
last week as stated on last weeks grain comments. Bank that profit and take some risk off.

IMHO I don't think we see a limit move up or down in corn. Many sell orders for old crop corn
and pricing of new crop above the market too. So if you need to sell some 14 corn or price some
new crop please have your orders in with co-op, elevator or brokers.
Outside markets and Weather will play roles also. Market reaction and close important to watch
Tuesday.
Enjoy the "March Madness
