Grain Origination Workshop

Topics Covered

• Optionality in Cash Contracts
  Discussion of how structuring options in cash contracts can offer
  varying degrees of flexibility for growers to participate in higher prices along with looking at the strength of different position structures and which contracts best compliment various market conditions.

• Case Studies and Group Exercise
  Comparing results of three structures under separate market
  paths to review why certain contracting alternatives are more effective than others in different situations. A group exercise will reinforce these concepts in a separate historical marketing scenario.

• Advantages of Proactive Contract Management
  As market conditions change, so should contract structures. We will review potential strategy adjustments that growers may want to consider and how additional value can be added for both the grower and the originator over the contracting life cycle.

• Grower Margin Management Simulation
  Integrated online simulation incorporating cash contracts, both firm and flexible, to manage the risk of a grower’s profit margin through a historical market.
