Every crop operation is unique, and we believe your grain risk management plan should be as well. Our team is focused on helping farmers identify and protect forward profit margins with futures and options while adding value by leveraging volatile grain markets. Each client is provided with an innovative website tool grounded in objective data-driven analysis and tools.


The website is customized to each producer’s operation and acts as a one-stop shop for their price risk management program, providing live margin tracking, scenario analysis, market alerts, and hedge position views. Our team of consultants work one-on-one with clients in regularly scheduled weekly meetings to help navigate the process and add a valuable risk management resource to your operation.
