We study what the good Farmers do - Stacking commodities

I was talking to a mixed Farmer at a conference this week, and he explained that in the 25/26 financial year, Wool will be his top-earning enterprise. But the kicker is that it was 4 years' worth of Wool all sold in this current financial year.

But it wasn’t the Wool sale that piqued my interest; it was the fact that they accumulated the Wool over the period when it was at much lower prices and managed to cash it at a price in the absolute top percentile. We call it "stacking commodities", and one highly respected Cropping Farmer (one of the best) wrote in and said that stacking is a way to make the highest margin possible. Yes, you need to have your cash flow sorted, but you can get started by stacking small and stacking often.
