With Halloween right around the corner your friends at St. Joseph Agri Services offer these helpful tips on keeping your Trick-or-Treater safe!

*Accompany young children (under age 12). Make sure they know how to call 911 in case they get lost. Check to make sure they know their home phone number.

*For older kids who are trick-or-treating on their own, find out the route they'll be taking and when they'll be coming home. Also be sure that they:
carry a cell phone, if possible
go in a group and stay together
only go to houses with porch lights on and walk on sidewalks on lit streets (never walk through alleys or across lawns)
walk from house to house (never run) and always walk facing traffic when walking on roads
stay away from candles and other flames
know to never go into strangers' homes or cars
cross the street at crosswalks and never assume that vehicles will stop

*Give kids flashlights with new batteries. Kids may also enjoy wearing glow sticks as bracelets or necklaces.
Limit trick-or-treating to your neighborhood and the homes of people you and your children know.

*When your kids get home, check all treats to make sure they're sealed. Throw out candy with torn packages or holes in the packages, spoiled items, and any homemade treats that haven't been made by someone you know.

*Don't allow young children to have hard candy or gum that could cause choking.

*Make sure trick-or-treaters will be safe when visiting your home, too. Remove anything that could cause kids to trip or fall on your walkway or lawn. Make sure the lights are on outside your house and light the walkway to your door, if possible. Keep family pets away from trick-or-treaters, even if they seem harmless to you.

Doug Bergman of RCM Asset Management reports that the ag markets are trading higher across the board as the selling in corn and beans has slowed for now. Dec. corn is up 2, Nov. beans up 14, Chicago wheat up 10, KC up 9, and MW up 11.
Corn has seen a pretty quiet trade, starting higher, trading lower, and now seeing small gains. There isn’t much reason for anyone to aggressively bid up the corn for now, but the market is leaning very heavily to the short side, so consolidation with small gains is what we are seeing.
