Crop Market Outlook

Dr. Joe Janzen, MSU Department of Agricultural Economics

The Crop Market Outlook will be predicted by Dr. Joe Janzen from the MSU Department of Agricultural Economics on Friday morning. He will recap markets in 2016 and then discuss where prices are going in 2017. "Margins are tighter on farms than they used to be," Janzen said. He grew up on a wheat and canola farm in Winnipeg, Canada and earned his Ph.D. in Agricultural Commodities at U.C. Davis. He will help farmers to understand seeing prices now, factors that go into a crop year, and marketing strategies. He is focused on the Northern Great Plains and looks forward to a question and answer time following his presentation.
