Ehedger and Prairie Grains to Give Away $2000 Account

Prairie Grains Magazine and EHedger LLC are excited to announce a new grain marketing contest for growers who read Prairie Grains magazine.  The winner of the EHedger/Prairie Grains marketing contest will receive a $2000 trading account with EHedger, along with their daily in depth market research emails to make the most of your win!

Beginning with this issue and running until June 15, 2008 growers can submit their “guesses” for the July 15th closing price on corn, soybeans and wheat. The closest estimate will win the $2000 account and trading advice with market research from EHedger.

“We are delighted to team up with Prairie Grains to offer their growers the chance to have some fun putting their marketing skills to use,” said Mark Monaco, Director of Sales and Marketing for Iowa Grain Company.  EHedger, a subsidiary of Iowa Grain Company, was started in 2001 and is a Chicago based marketing company. Running contests like this in the past has peaked many growers’ interest and garnered much fun for everyone involved.

“Margin calls are becoming a major concern among growers who are using the futures to hedge grain sales. I am sure any one using the futures and who is lucky enough to win this contest, will appreciate the $2000 trading account”, says David Torgerson, Executive Director of the Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers. “We encourage growers to enter the contest if they have plans to use the futures to hedge their production. We also encourage them to work closely with a knowledgeable banker when it comes to managing margin accounts.” 

Growers can look for the EHedger ad in this issue or go to www.ehedger.com to enter the contest or find more info at this time.

The winner will be announced in Prairie Grains Fall Marketing Guide this September. Have fun and good luck growers!
