Time to Buy
Wheat or Com?
Is it time for commodity traders to reconsider
the possible opportunities in wheat and corn?
Or have both these golden grains lost whatever
appeal they had before the recent and bearish
“stocks-in-all-positions” report?
For a searching answer to these questions, and an
interesting perspective on wheat-corn price rela

special situation report from our Commodity
Research Department.

good sheepmen will turn their
ewes into a flush grass pasture

to 2 pounds of extra grain per
head pei day The goal of every
sheepmen should be to laise 2
lambs per ewe, This is very
seldom accomplished.
