Historically wars like the 2026 Iran war are bullish hard assets like grains, metals and energy! The funds are spooked and do not want to be short, but do they price in the news over time, similar to the Ukraine/Russian war that started on Feb. 24, 2022? A closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the key to the surge in crude oil, natural gas prices and fertilizer prices.  Grains are breaking out to new contract highs as a hedge against inflation. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/iran-war-trend-is-your-friend-short-term-but-239220.aspx NEWS_239220 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:08:25 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239220_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239220_thumb.png 40 40 Protecting seed quality starts in the field and continues through storage until planting — that was the focus of the Spud Smart–NAPSO webinar with Leroy Salazar, Amanda Wakasugi and Bill Crowder. Speakers stressed that vine kill timing, harvest conditions (soil moisture, pulp temperature), and minimizing mechanical damage set the stage for successful storage; modern buildings, calibrated sensors, VFD-controlled airflow, rapid field-heat removal, and tight temperature uniformity then preserve seed quality. Ongoing monitoring for hot spots, condensation and early issues, plus sanitation and variety-specific handling, keep losses low and seed viable for shipping or cutting. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/seed-storage-protecting-quality-from-harvest-to-planting-239216.aspx NEWS_239216 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:35:33 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239216_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239216_thumb.png 40 40 Fermentation has been used for thousands of years, long before refrigeration existed.
