Leveraging Unbiased Tools to Help Producers

We focus on helping crop producers capture forward profit margins up to 18 months out, while proactively managing commodity price risk. We work to help clients identify opportunities and protect profit margins – then manage their positions over time.

CIH consultants leverage unbiased tools and expertise to help producers develop strategies for:

• when to lock in a net margin.
• protecting profitability when commodity prices move against your positions.
• taking advantage of opportunities to benefit from changes in commodity prices.
• creating “what-if” scenarios for evaluating adjustments in pricing, basis, etc.

CIH helps crop producers get a comprehensive view of current margins while identifying opportunities to improve risk posture and protect profitability several quarters out. Consulting is tailored to your actual operations, cost structure, inventories, contracting, physical deliveries, etc., which allows us to develop a focused plan to target favorable margins regardless of what happens in the marketplace. Our clients have standing one-hour calls every week where we review markets, positions, and any needed adjustments to strategy.

All CIH clients have unlimited access to an easy-to-use, secure website that showcases an updated, accurate picture of your forward profit margins and a customized model of your operation’s actual costs & revenues that is invaluable for quickly evaluating buy & sell decisions.
