LDP to increase on Friday 
2-12-2025
POP is going up on Friday to 2.61 as market transitions from base March to base May.  Anyone with basis contracts will be looking at a price or roll decision soon.

The Variety Report Card is now publishedClick on the 2026 Variety Report Card or this link to see the results.  It will be updated for quality variations, but all of our varieties have very good quality now and yield is the primary selection tool.  The report card rewards the varieties with more data and positive results because this gives us more confidence in selecting a reliable vehicle.  I don't want the variety that did best last year in only a few locations.  I want good performers for at least 2-3 years in strip plots as well as OVT plots.
