WEB SITE OF THE MONTH
Commodity Price Quotes
Dr.
Allen Young

The Web sites
for this month come as a result of an inquiry by a dairy producer as to where he
could go to track forage and grain prices. I have listed several such sites
below. If anyone knows of other or better sites, please let me know. Happy
hunting!
1. USDA - Livestock and Grain Market News
http://www.ams.usuda.gov/lsg/mncs/index.htm
You
can get three different quotes by doing one of the following:
- Click on Grain, Molasses, and Beans; then click on Reports by State.
- Click on Feedstuffs, then pick the market of interest.
- Click on Hay, then pick the market of interest.
I suggest looking
around because there is a lot of information here.
2. Agricultural
Statistics Service
http://www.dairytoday.com
Click
on Markets, then U.S. Grains. The numbers seems odd, but the historical graphs
will give you an idea of how the market is doing.
