At DTN we take extremely seriously anything that influences market prices or that changes our farmers? ability to profit and provide for their families and for the world.
So, we?ve taken multiple steps to ensure our teams can continue to provide our customers with the content and insights they need to run businesses and protect families. Those include:
DTN Proprietary Intelligence: Our cash grain, fertilizer, fuels and other price gathering teams are prepared to continue serving up key information and analysis in a timely manner as work conditions and mobility changes.
