What Do We Provide?

Customized Crop Marketing Plans

Duane applies lessons learned in 40 years of agricultural market experience to producers' crop marketing plans. Markets have personalities, and he has met them all. An effective marketing plan is comprised of three components: basis, spreads, and price trends. Most marketing plans consider basis and price trends, but neglect spreads. Producers need a plan that considers all three components to maximize net profit.

Crop Insurance Tailored for Your Needs

A tailored crop insurance plan is critical to profitability. Crop insurance is too often a missed opportunity to enhance producers' marketing plans and ensure financial stability. Crop insurance also makes conversations with your lender easier. Producers who lock-in revenue through tailored crop insurance are more likely to obtain financing with better terms than producers who purchase generic insurance plans. If 2020's price action left you stressed and uncertain about your operation's future, you need to contact us today.
