It is the month in which the crop of a new crop marketing plan will be harvested. Also referred to as the price risk month this is a very important date.
If you are not sure and a season’s harvest can fall between contract months, then typically the later contract month is used. Ask a registered trader to advise you in this regard.
When this original Contract Month expires, CropsProfit automatically uses the next contract month which keeps the season in the spot month until the total harvest is sold.
As this is one of the core variables in a crop marketing plan it cannot be changed once a new season is created.
