We Bring Transparency to Opaque Markets

Since 1865 we’ve delivered pricing transparency to opaque agriculture and energy markets in the form of trusted price reporting, commentary, and price forecasting.

 

Price Forecasting

We forecast pricing, supply & demand for products up to three months out. We also report our forecasting accuracy.

Historical Data Access

Most of the data at The Jacobsen is downloadable for 10+ years or more in some cases.
