It’s time to start marketing for the 2025 new crop year we are offering… Ludlow Coop’s Average Pricing Program or you can pick your Average Pricing Weeks

Average Pricing Contract

Helps you to create a base for a marketing plan on your 2025 crop

• Price grain when the average historical seasonal values are at their highest (January through June).
• Still leave a good portion of your grain to market (Recommend to commit no more than 20-35% of an average crop).
• A good way to help your landlords get some pricing done and take the emotion out of pricing grain.
