John Payne with Advanced Trading has been in grain marketing for nearly 20 years and he joins us on Grain IQ to answer those questions. This is Part One of a two-part series. Be sure to catch Part Two where Payne breaks down the weekly Commitment of Traders report and how farmers can use that information in their grain marketing plans.
