    Season 4, Ep. 10 – Consistent randomness: Does data from the Pro Farmer Crop Tour impacts grain markets?
    Aug 21 2024
    Consistent randomness and investigative reporting are two themes that come from the Pro Farmer Crop Tour every August. The tour has become an industry event that analysts, agronomists, farmers and more closely watch for real-time insights on crop conditions in seven states: Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. But what's the significance of the data to the markets? Is it accurate? And how should the data be used in grain marketing decisions? Chip Flory with Pro Farmer leads the Western Leg of the tour each year. He said their team of scouts has the same route during the same week with the same calculation methods to gather realistic data about the crop year after year. In addition to consistent randomness, Flory said the tour serves as an investigative report to level the playing field for farmers with access to data. “There have been years when the crop tour has deviated significantly from what USDA has showed us,” he said. Flory joins us to elaborate on the tour and its significance to grain marketing.
