The graph above shows how the basis changes from January through the end of October for New Crop October delivery Corn based off of the December Futures into one of our DGS elevator locations.
To the right of the graph, shows the average basis during our Average Price Contract program using the Futures that were set during the APC pricing period. For comparison, below that shows the average December Futures during harvest with the average basis during harvest to give you an average spot price. This shows by enrolling in the Average Price Contract program, or by Forward Pricing bushels (HTA, Basis, or Cash), marketing your grain prior to harvest is more profitable than spot pricing across the scales.

For Example: In 2016, the APC December Futures were set at $3.89. The average basis during the 20 week pricing period was a -.39 against the December futures for October delivery, which gives you a October cash contract of $3.50. During harvest, the December Futures averaged $3.49 and the spot basis averaged -.38 which gives you an average spot price of during the 2016 harvest of $3.11. On average, the APC earned 39 cents per bushel MORE than the bushels that were spotted across the scales!

The graph above shows how the basis changes from January through the end of November for New Crop October delivery, for December 1st payment, based off of the December Futures into one of our DGS elevator locations. To the right of the graph, shows the average basis during our Average Price Contract program using the Futures that were set during the APC pricing period. For comparison, below that shows the average December Futures during harvest with the average December contract basis during harvest-time to give you an average spot price.
This shows by enrolling in the Average Price Contract program, or by Forward Pricing bushels (HTA, Basis, or Cash), marketing your grain prior to harvest is more profitable than contracting it for Decmber payment across the scales.
|
For Example: In 2018, the APC December Futures were set at $3.91. The average basis during the 20 week pricing period was a -.24 against the December futures for October delivery, but paying storage until December 1st and taking December payment, which gives you a December cash contract of $3.67. During harvest, the December Futures averaged $3.68 and the December Contract basis averaged -.22 which gives you an average December contract price during the 2018 harvest of $3.46. On average, the APC earned 21 cents per bushels MORE than the bushels that were stored and contracted for December payment across the scales!

The graph above shows how the basis changes from January through the end of October for New Crop October delivery based off of the November Futures into one of our DGS elevator locations. To the right of the graph, shows the average basis during our Average Price Contract program using the Futures that were set during the APC pricing period. For comparison, below that shows the average November Futures during harvest with the average spot basis during harvest-time to give you an average spot price.
As you can see in 2017, the APC did not work when setting the futures compared to the average harvest delivery against the November Futures, but by averaging these 3 years together, the APC Futures averaged $9.74 and the average harvest delivery November Futures averaged $8.81. Thats an average difference of 93 cents profit over 3 years by enrolling in the APC compared to spotting soybeans across the scales! This also goes to show that this program will not work EVERY year, because sometimes there will be a year that this program does not work, but 9 out of 10 years, it will and on average you will be better off enrolling rather than spotting!
|
For Example: In 2018, the APC November Futures were set at $9.37. The average basis during the 20 week pricing period was a -.54 against the November futures for October delivery, which gives you a October cash contract of $8.83. During harvest, the November Futures averaged $8.59 and the spot basis averaged -.67 which gives you an average spot price of during the 2018 harvest of $7.92. On average, the APC earned 91 cents per bushels MORE than the bushels that were spotted across the scales!
