CBOT futures closed mostly lower with corn posting the largest percentage losses. Old-crop soybean futures fell through the 200-day moving average. Live Cattle futures were higher led by the nearby February LC contract. February LC was supported by yesterday’s strong move higher in cash cattle prices and in boxed beef. With follow-through selling from yesterday’s sharp losses, lean hog futures closed lower, led by the nearby February LH contract.

Many times the first point of contact between a roadside farm market and a potential customer is the market’s road sign. There is a science, and an art, to creating signage that will quickly inform and attract; and it ranges between keeping the message brief to being readable for a 60-mph passing motorist. Feldhaus visits with the Crop Diversification Center’s Brett Wolff who’ll be speaking at the Farm Bureau’s Roadside Market “educational meeting” in Bowling Green on March 16.

Corn and soybean futures were little changed today on narrow trading ranges, while wheat gained mostly a nickel on short-covering tied to some weather concerns. Live Cattle futures closed sharply higher on much stronger cash prices and boxed beef cutout values. Lean Hog futures closed sharply lower with the nearby April LH contract performing the worst. LH futures were pressured by cash hog price weakness and lower pork cutouts that only worsened later in the day.
