DELMARVA — Delmarva farmers are taking advantage of a strong corn market rally to lock in prices they haven’t seen in 2 years. Matt Bennett from AgMarket.net says producers are selling both cash corn and new crop forward at favorable levels. It’s an opportunity to secure pricing ahead of the growing season.

Meanwhile, the nation’s top farm leader is warning of what he calls a generational storm brewing over rural America. Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall told a National Ag Day gathering in Washington that heavy economic clouds are hanging over the agricultural sector nationwide. The warning comes as producers across the region face tight margins and rising input costs.

Markets

Corn futures closed higher on the day. Soybeans posted gains driven by fund buying and technical strength ahead of Friday’s expected EPA biofuel announcement. Wheat also finished in positive territory.

Live cattle for April delivery settled down $0.95 at $234.42 per hundredweight. Cash cattle trade remains slow with Texas asking prices between $238 and $240 per head.

Forecast

Mostly cloudy skies are expected tonight with lows around 42° and south winds at 10 mph. Thursday brings a warm up to 70° with partly sunny skies and southwest breezes 10 to 15 mph. Rain showers arrive Friday.
