Poll: How much sold?

[John_Walter]

There's been some talk here that a lot of farmers have foreward sold grain and may not have much to gain from higher prices. What's the word in your neighborhood?

All of 2010 corn and beans and about 60% of the anticipated production for 2011.

Edit: I might have a few bushels of corn over run in the bin.

Have 50% dry corn sold at average price delivered 2010 at $5.75 a bushel. All beans sold, delivered 2010, at an average price just over $12.00 a bushel. High moisture corn priced at $7.00 a bushel fed to cattle. All cattle on feed are priced with a packer for future delivery, March/April. Corn silage and barley silage is priced at $50.00 a ton fed to cattle currently on inventory. I am at market risk for 50% of dry corn in the bin and 50% high moisture corn in storage. All crop inputs for 2011 are priced and paid with the exception of additional nitrogen for which we do not have on farm storage, probably a trailer load of liquid 32%.

John it may interest you to know the local elevator operator told me that about 50% of beans and 45% of corn was either sold or on contract to be sold when it was delivered this year.  Very little on farm storage in my area.

All corn and beans sold, but I have half of grain sorghum and a couple loads of wheat in storage.  The prices mentioned in an earlier post were not even in the realm of reality in my area, but I'm satisfied with the prices I sold at.

I went into the harvest naked.  Sold about 40% of soybeans, looking at Dec 10 river close and very little carry.  May sell more, I"m not sure.  Sold maybe 25% of my corn.  I'll most likely hold corn into next spring.  I'm aside on the board.
