Market Report

June 22, 2015 Leave a comment


Markets 11:59am

Dow +104.76
S&P +13.98
Nasdaq +34.48

U.S. stocks advanced into positive territory today, lifted by gains in health-care and financial shares as well as optimism that Greece will eventually reach a bailout deal with its creditors.

 

Grain Markets 11:59am

July Corn +5 @ 3.58 ¼ 
Dec Corn +3 ¾ @ 3.72 ½ 
July Beans +16 ¾ @ 9.88 ¼ 
Nov Beans +17 @ 9.56 ¾ 

 

Very refreshed after seeing some good strength in grains last week, Friday provided a bit of negativity as people took some profits for the weekend.  This morning we opened a bit weak for corn this morning but eventually joined the beans in positive territory after 10am.  Most impressive is the 17 cent rally we are seeing yet again today in beans, giving farmers more opportunity to make a sale if need be.  Funds are currently net sellers in corn, and covering shorts in the beans.

 

Corn – USDA report today, last week crop condition dropped 74% good to excellent down 1% to 73%.  We may see this yet again.  Might give us a bit more strength in corn for the near term.

 

Beans – USDA report today, look to see 90% planted, with some planting delay, talks once again of Argentine Strikes, and political uncertainty in Argentina, we may continue to see some strength for a bit as short covering continues.  Resistance lines may still be difficult to break to get major movement.

June 22, 2015 Leave a comment


Elizabeth Ann “Betty” Coffman, 81 years of Tekamah, Nebraska passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 20th at the Golden Living Center in Tekamah after a lingering illness.

Betty was born on August 18, 1933 in Tekamah, Nebraska, the second of three children, to George and Mildred (Marshall) Plummer.  She received her education in Tekamah, graduating from Tekamah High School in 1951.

On March 4, 1951, Betty married Robert E. Coffman. To this union two children were born; Dan and Denise. They resided on a farm north of Tekamah in Riverside Township for 24 years until moving into town in 1975.

Betty was a devoted wife for 64 years and loving mother, who took joy in helping Bob on the farm driving tractors and grain trucks while also keeping active in her children’s lives. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Tekamah and served as the church organist for many years, playing at Sunday services, weddings and funerals. As a member of PW, (Presbyterian Women), Betty worked with the Hospitality Group preparing food and working in the kitchen for dinners and funerals held at church.  Betty’s musical talent kept her busy as the organist for the Order of Eastern Star and Job’s Daughters for many years as well.

Betty also worked for Burt County 6R Country School, Farm Bureau Insurance and Burt County Bank Insurance Company in Tekamah.

Over the years, Betty has enjoyed bowling league, raising a large garden and canning.  She was an excellent cook and baker, loved to read books and her card game of choice was ‘Pitch’.  After she and Bob retired from farming in 1992, they started to enjoy traveling to different places, most especially to South Padre Island, Texas where, for over 20 years, they would spend wonderful winters together. During her lifetime, she has enjoyed many friendships both near and far.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Robert and Jim Plummer; her beloved daughter, Denise Trumbo.

Betty is survived by her husband, Robert “Bob” Coffman of Tekamah; son, Dan (Jeanine) Coffman of Streamwood, Ill; son-in-law Gary Trumbo of Fremont, NE; three grandchildren, Kecia Zimmerman of Omaha, NE, Sarah (Matt) Lieber of Lincoln, NE, Danielle Coffman of Streamwood, IL; three great grandchildren, Hunter and Hailee Zimmerman, Logan Lieber; brothers-in-law, Donald (Dolores) Coffman, Ed (Barb) Coffman all of Tekamah.
