Find the Jan. low then Feb never takes out the Jan. low. Then in March corn is higher than both the Jan and Feb. high
What happened in 2012. Just asking
I have not sold the remainder of old crop corn not forward contracted last winter
I usually finish old crop and do some new crop before spring planting
I will use your info as Feb is usually not such a good month
I used to worry along about Feb until an older farmer told me to never worry about Feb corn prices Seems like many times [not always] get a spring spike, not always the same time frame
Gotta be nimble and grab it
As of now, watching corn go down and have the usual feeling I should have acted sooner and done some thing
Oh well it is what it is
Tks much for the info
Sorry I missed putting 2012 in there IT WORK
Pretty bullish historical statistic bcb.
Thanks for sharing it.
This guy has some great seasonal charts. They haven't been updated recently but most are still valid:

Here's an excellent one that shows the strength of Corn, starting just after harvest and going thru Feb, into early March and it includes those years mentioned............as well as the ones in between:

These charts show the same thing...........don't be short corn early in the year........don't be long after planting unless the weather is adverse.
