Every strategy offers a different path to manage price risk – some prioritize certainty, others offer price flexibility. Our team will help you understand the differences and help you implement options that support your specific goals. Various strategies include:
Lock in a futures value across different time frames, providing you certainty in volatile markets.
Establish a minimum price floor while maintaining the ability to move with the market if prices rally.
Use a seasonal timeframe to price in incremental sales on a regular basis.
Improve your average price in exchange for potentially selling additional bushels at a set price.
Earn a premium on current bushels being marketed in return for a commitment to market more bushels should the market rally to a higher value.
Personalized service from an experienced consultant who knows you by name and understands your specific goals. Your grain consultant will walk you through the differences between structured cash products and help you select the option that best fits your operation. From product selection to contract delivery and final payment, their role is to guide you through every step of the process with clarity and confidence.
Keep your working capital intact. Unlike some pricing strategies that require margin calls or tie up cash, these products offer pricing flexibility without daily exposure to exchange-driven margining requirements — so you stay fully in control of your working capital and your grain marketing decisions.
You have the added benefit of keeping your grain sales independent of any single buyer. It’s your grain — and it makes sense that you decide who you sell it to. This program is designed for growers who want to actively manage cash basis and maximize the value of every grain sale. Your decision. Every time.
These products are designed to complement your core risk management strategies. When used alongside crop insurance, planned cash sales, and traditional risk management tools, they strengthen your farm’s ability to manage price swings while staying nimble.
These tools help you manage price risk while protecting one of your most valuable assets — your independence. You stay in control of your grain production, including who you sell to and when. That flexibility matters, and it’s worth protecting. While physical grain sales can be complex, you don’t have to navigate them on your own.
You gain clear, timely insight into when these products make sense and which option best fits your operation — so you can make confident, informed decisions. Discover how these tools can become a powerful addition to your risk-management tool belt.
