Financing Tip of the Week: Are You Operating Too Close to the Edge? Signs Your Business is in Financial Stress. Many farmers ignore the early warning signs of financial trouble and only realize the severity of the issue when a major event occurs. The early signs of financial stress are the lack of a financial cushion and marketing produce in unfavorable market conditions. Did you know these early warning signs, and do you know what comes next? Find out how these situations get out of control here:

From The Grain Brokerage Team
We continue to see a steady flow of grain being offered, primarily wheat, feed barley, pulses, and a small volume of specialty crops. The key challenge during this new crop period remains the timely movement of product, as available bin space tightens with each passing grain cart.
At this stage, most movement and deliveries are expected to occur within a 1–2 month window, though some exceptions may fall outside this range. While demand exists, it is currently limited—so we encourage you to get in touch to secure your movement window now and avoid delays.
