I have listed some of these cool websites in the references section.<sup>1, 2, 3<\/sup>Although, these references are great and informative, I would advise everyone to assess the data critically and consult more than one source, just so that you guys don\u2019t lose money the way I did this week. Another interesting development this week was of the publishing of the report. It was rather pertinent that we covered a similar question in the assignment which asked us to comment on the impacts reports may have on prices. As I had predicted, the report did have implications and it caused great price volatility. I got the information of the report release from Ishrat and it was published by USDA on September 28, 2012, in which it had predicted a 12 percent decline in corn prices.<\/p>\n<p>This week I discovered a website by the name of farm progress and ended by referring to it a lot. The website allows browsers to see the daily change in prices in corn market for a number of contracts. It was particularly helpful as it kept me informed of the subtle changes in prices.<sup>3\u00a0\u00a0 <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p><sup>1<\/sup><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecropsite.com\/marketreports\/\">http:\/\/www.thecropsite.com\/marketreports\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><sup>2<\/sup><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usda.gov\/oce\/index.htm\">http:\/\/www.usda.gov\/oce\/index.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p><sup>3<\/sup><a href=\"http:\/\/farmprogress.com\/markets.aspx\">http:\/\/farmprogress.com\/markets.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">I saw a lot of price volatility this week and therefore was forced to consult a few websites which provided&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14822,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[680416],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-agriculture-commodity-trading"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14822"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18\/revisions\/19"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ahmedraza\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
