Rosenthal Lehigh Valley presents
AN AGRICULTURAL SEMINAR
What’s ahead for grain and meat prices in 1989?
Will we see $12.00 Soybeans, $4.00 Corn
and 800 Cattle?
At our Free seminar, we will fully discuss the current condi
tions and future prospects for grains and livestock. What effect
will last year’s drought and huge foreign grain purchases have
on our current low grain stocks?
Discussed:
• Soybeans
• Soybean Meal
• Soybean Oil
• Corn
• Wheat
• Oats
• Cattle and Feeders
• Hogs and Bellies
An excellent opportunity for farmers, dealers and investors
to learn about grain and livestock futures and options.
• Our only business is commodity futures and options on
futures.
• Same location and principals for over twenty years.
DATE: Wed., April 26
TIME: 7:30 P.M.
PLACE:
□ I plan to attend
□ I do not plan to attend - please send me grain and livestock
information and your Market Letter.
