Sandhusker, do you not think that ag-producers could do a bit better by taking into account analyist predictions?
I don't think it is a tool that is used often enough! From what I have seen, it's more, "this is the way we have always done it" attitude.
Kind of like using your local elevator etc. to tell you what you need for fertilizer, seed population, chemical etc. Why are they making those recomendations?
Wouldn't it be nice to have someone that is independeant, unbiased to come in and let you know what you should do, and then you can make an "informed" decision. A degree of inaccuracy is to be expected, but a greater degree of inaccuracy is quaranteed, if not asking for opinions, and just watching the clouds! Is your marketing plan based on your weather locally? Plan for failure if it is!
I would hate to see the lack of analyists, that would only provide for less ability to make an informed decision!
