Ohio grain producers and agricultural industry professionals will have an opportunity to gain valuable market insights through an upcoming educational webinar focused on grain marketing and current market conditions.
The event, titled Coffee and Grain Marketing, is organized by Ohio State University (OSU) Extension and is designed to help farmers better understand the latest developments affecting grain markets.
The online session will take place on November 13 and will provide participants with timely information on market trends and agricultural economics.
The webinar will feature Dr. Seungki Lee, Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics (AEDE), who will share his analysis and outlook on grain markets. During the session, he will discuss key findings and expectations related to the November 2026 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) Crop Report, which is scheduled for release on November 10.
The WASDE report is closely watched by farmers, traders, and agribusiness professionals because it provides important information about crop production, supply levels, demand forecasts, and market trends. Updates from the report often influence commodity prices and marketing decisions across the agricultural sector.
The webinar is expected to focus on factors that affect the corn, soybean, and wheat markets. By understanding these influences, producers can make more informed decisions regarding crop marketing strategies and farm management plans.
In addition to expert market analysis, the session will encourage interaction and discussion. Farmers will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the presenter. This provides a valuable platform for producers seeking clarification on market developments or wanting to learn more about economic trends affecting their operations.
Educational events such as this help farmers stay informed in a rapidly changing agricultural environment. Market conditions can shift due to weather, global demand, production changes, trade activity, and economic factors. Access to expert guidance can help producers better prepare for these changes and respond effectively.
Another benefit of the webinar is its accessibility. There is no registration fee, making the event available to a broad audience of farmers and industry stakeholders. The online format also allows participants to attend conveniently from their homes, offices, or farms.
The program is sponsored by OSU Extension, the Farm Financial Management & Policy Institute (FFMPI), and the Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics (AEDE). Their continued support helps provide educational opportunities that strengthen agricultural knowledge and decision-making.
As grain markets continue to evolve, programs like this webinar offer farmers a practical way to stay updated on important developments. By combining expert analysis with open discussion, the event aims to help producers gain a clearer understanding of market conditions and improve their confidence in making business decisions for the future.
