LDP to increase on Friday 
1-29-2025
This week the POP has been over a penny.  On Friday it will be close to 1.8 cents.  That will be confirmed by lunch time today.  If this market trend has become downward, the POP will continue to increase.  It continues to be a waiting  game with low risk as long as you don't pop it without selling it.  Most folks that are selling are catching a early to midweek rally and Maximizing the short term market bump and the POP before it changes lower.  

TOP 10 VARIETIES ARE LISTED ON THE ON-LINE NEWSLETTER.  The order of these might shift slightly once the Report Card is complete and this year there are some stronger candidates than last year although 3 of last years top 5 remain in this top 5 group.  Number 8-12 this year are very close so if you like these, I may list all of them.  Bottom line is there is still some tweaking to do, but my recommendation is to plant most of your acreage in the leading varieties that are listed on the on line newsleter
