Book Description
Grain Marketing explores the basic principles and concepts of grain marketing and analyzes the futures and options markets, agricultural policy, grain pricing, and grain marketing structures in the United States, Canada, and the European Community. This text helps students understand the world grain system, trains them to use futures and options, and explains how grain is marketed locally and internationally. The world grain industry affects our daily lives in ways both large and small. It influences what we consume for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and provides at least 40 percent of the world’s food supply. The U.S. and world grain industry affects our income, our investments, and global politics. As world population and therefore global demand for grain grows, the volume handled by the U.S. grain industry will continue to expand, demanding not only improvement in crop yields but also continued efforts to compete in increasingly sophisticated international markets. This newly revised, fully updated text provides a practical, comprehensive overview of grain marketing that is useful to both the upper-level undergraduate studying agricultural marketing and the professional working in the industry. Grain Marketing blends several approaches to the study of commodity marketing, combining the institutional, functional, market structure, and analytical and behavioral systems approach to grain marketing. The book includes basic background information for newcomers to the subject of agricultural marketing as well as more rigorous treatment of advanced subjects. The books overall plan allows the student to follow the movement of the major grains, corn, wheat, and soybeans from farm production to final consumption. Along the way, it provides a detailed description of the worldwide system, encompassing local and multinational corporations, state agencies and boards, national trade and agricultural policies, and the cash and futures markets that serve this industry.

Book Description
The results of this study identify the relative importance of alternative market outlets for grain. Although farmers are not yet bypassing the local elevator in all states, direct sales to grain processors and terminal elevators account for a significant proportion of the total sales of corn and soybeans in Illhinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri, and of wheat in Illinois, Indiana, kansas, and Missouti. The availability of on farm dryers increases the probability of bypassing local elevators. Analysis of characteristics of farmers and the production and marketing patterns of various states revealed that direct sales to terminal elevators and processors were associated with farmers reporting larger farm size and exhibiting a more complex and sophisticated marketing strategy. This marketing strategy consisted partly in placing less reliance upon the marketing farms for marketing services. Farmers selling to terminal elevators and processors owned more storage and drying capacity, and they sold grain out of farm storage rather than at harvest more often than farmers selling to country elevators. Use of a more complex marketing strategy was also indicated by more frequent price checks, greater use of hedging, and identification of price rather than convenience as the most important criterion in selecting an outlet.
