Online Crop Marketing Course

Fourteen sessions and 13 quizzes were developed to allow producers to explore futures price and basis movements, marketing tools and grain contracts that can help create a successful marketing plan. Users can review video presentations, learning activities and take educational quizzes. A special emphasis is given to comprehensive crop market planning and price risk management. The course is self-paced, with participants completing the content in an average of four weeks, after registration. The online format is appealing because producers can complete it at their own pace, and from their own home - whether that’s in Iowa or from another state. For the self-directed learner, they can decide how quickly they want to go through the material, without having to attend a workshop or seminar.
