Market volatility doesn't take a break, neither should your grain marketing plan.

Join StoneX for a hands-on seminar to strengthen your marketing strategy. The seminar, available at no cost to Iowa soybean farmers, will be held Aug. 6-7 in West Des Moines.

Designed specifically for soybean and corn producers, the seminar will equip Iowa farmers with practical strategies to boost profitability, protect their crop revenue, and plan for long-term farm success.

Topics include:

• Financial ratios and use of capital
• Introduction to financial contracts
• Value of forward sales
• Introduction to crop insurance and commodity options
• Basis and spreads 101
• Farm succession planning
• Ag economy outlook
• Cash grain contracts
