I really like your emails. They're well versed, brief, only take a minute or two to read and you give an opinion of what you think as well as providing some charts for evidence as to why. Keep it up. I hope you're right about urea!

I like that it takes the over thinking out and just uses the chart to say keep or sell. Within 30 seconds I can read your report and it is either a yes or no decision. I like that.

I like how Trent focuses on price and not the noise of the marketplace. His analysis is short and to the point, and I can better manage my emotions associated with grain marketing and improve my results. Trent takes time to answer the phone and shares how markets behave.

Your use of charts and price memory has helped save my farm thousands. I farm around Alamo, North Dakota and we grow durum, canola, yellow peas, and richlea lentils. I also found your diesel and fertilizer updates to be very useful.

Thank you for your great newsletter!

My wheat position got covered Tuesday so a nice profit of $1600 covers my subscription fee, well done Trent! You have been very accurate with your assessments. I like what you're doing. I'll renew my subscription and I sent your info to a potential client.

We luckily booked our bulk diesel on May 31, 2023 at $2.63/gal with your advice, and the price soared shortly after.

Great crude report. Thanks. I really like how you presented your data. Be bullish above 90 and bearish below 70. Many of us novices would maybe think opposite.

Glen Hill

Your analysis is very helpful for us as an exporter and a grain elevator. I believe it's a good analysis.

Trent's grain report is hands down the most unbiased, no-BS analysis out there. But it's more than that - it's the community he's built. Trent checks in on me during beet harvest, showing genuine care beyond the numbers. Substack isn't just newsletters; it's real connections...

Case Study: a dated Durum sell signal

The Challenge

Grain farmers and traders encounter a wide range of news and opinions on commodity prices. Because of personal biases, they may favor information that matches existing beliefs, sometimes overlooking contrary data.

In 2022, the optimism surrounding Durum wheat prices led many farmers to retain their stock, while grain companies maintained long positions.

The Solution

Amidst widespread optimism and information overload, we took a different approach. By focusing on price charts, we sidestepped subjective views. These charts hinted at a potential price drop.

On January 15, 2022, our Durum Wheat Alert adjusted the Sell Signal below $19.60, so we warned our readers about a looming price trend shift.

The Result

In two weeks, Durum wheat prices fell by about $1.40 per bushel after the January 15, 2022 sell signal.

Marketing decisions remain yours. Past results are not a guarantee.

The Conclusion

This case study is a dated example of a chart-based Durum sell signal.

Analysis focuses on objective price charts.

Analysis is independent; not tied to any grain buyer or elevator.
