I am interested to find out views from farmers and oh=thers involved in 
agriculturaal grains brokerage and marketing as to farmers attitudes to 
using better marketing techniques to improve returns.

For instance, do farmers still prefer to sell off harvest, or is there 
a trend towards forward selling, futures etc.

For those involved as growers,what caused you to use these advanced 
techniques? If you are in the trade, how did you convince growers
to use them?

I am interested to hear from replys from all countries.
