Abstract

The basis data in this 2007 publication are a valuable tool for producers across the state to use in marketing their grain. Basis is the difference between the local cash grain price in Nebraska and the nearby futures prices. A good understanding of local basis trends can help producers make grain marketing decisions and forecast basis when evaluating futures hedges.
