January 7: Livestock producers: Extend feed coverage... We advise livestock producers to cover through March for soymeal needs in the cash market. Meal futures have begun showing strength at historic support at $300.0. Historically, meal prices do not spend much time at or below this value level. You now have full coverage in cash through March.
Cotton producers: Advance 2025-crop sales... Nearby cotton futures pushed above our 65-cent target. We advise cotton producers to sell another 5% of production, bringing total sales to 20%. Recent increases in China demand and a potential cut to USDA’s 2025 crop estimate have us exercising patience for our next sale, but we have a preliminary target of 70 cents.
