The specifics of every farming operation’s challenges are unique to them, but the reasons growers hire us onto their management team tend to be similar in the following ways:

1. The markets are so volatile and global in nature and there is so much information available, marketing has become a full time job. How do I stay on top of all of it to make marketing decisions?
2. There are so many marketing tools available from different cash contracts, futures and options. How do I know which tool is correct and how to use it properly?
3. Farming has changed so rapidly and my working capital needs have increased so much. How do I better run my farm as the medium to large sized business it has become?
4. I am frustrated with other marketing firms I’ve hired in the past, they’ve been too speculative in nature and I’ve felt like a number. How do I get someone to focus on my unique operation?
5. The volatility of the markets has resulted in poor marketing decisions on my part and I find it hard to compete and grow my operation. How do survive, profit and grow in today’s environment?
6. How do I best utilize my on-farm storage and maximize basis and carry opportunities?
