We
pride ourselves in helping you better your operation in the way
that best suits your needs. Whether it be creating a marketing
plan and then implementing it or purchasing the crop insurance
that best fits your needs,
we can help your operation strive to be profitable.
Commodity Marketing and Consulting
Ag Business Specialists offers unique marketing plans with
each individual producer in mind. Choose between a
global market plan for your entire farm or a more cash-oriented
market plan for a specific quantity of bushels.
Regardless of the plan, we will advise with cash sales,
commodity hedging using futures and options, and with
multiple strategies that are used in risk management.
The relationship between a cash sale and a futures or
option position can sometimes be overwhelming.
Therefore, the central theme of our marketing strategies
is the education of the client as we believe that an
educated client is an informed and confident client.
Broker Assisted Accounts
A broker assisted account is an account whose owner
retains full control over all trading decisions made in the
account and at the same time has the full attention of a
broker in helping trade the markets. Broker assisted
accounts are especially appropriate if you don't have the
time to follow the markets as closely as you would like,
are new to futures trading or simply want professional
guidance in your trading decisions.
Not only does Ag Business Specialists have many knowledgeable brokers to assist you, but we also have access to the research and data provided by our carrying broker, ADM Investor Services, Inc.
Managed Futures Investments
As an introducing broker through ADM Investor Services, Inc, Ag Business
Specialists offers a variety of managed futures
investments operated by professional Commodity Trading
Advisors (CTAs). With practically a zero correlation to
stocks and the ability to capitalize on both rising and
falling markets, managed futures are gaining popularity in
diversifying and balancing investors' overall
portfolios.
We believe the research and facts supporting the inclusion of
managed futures in an overall investment portfolio may
be beneficial. For a number of qualified investors, the
question is not whether they should, but how much to
invest in professionally managed futures.
More information on the managed futures investments can
be found at www.diversifywithfutures.com.
Crop Insurance Services
Purchasing crop insurance through Ag Business Specialists
is very easy and flexible as producers have the option to
choose from several insurance coverages and companies.
We have developed powerful computer software that
analyzes multiple insurance scenarios simultaneously.
This software enables us to develop a global farm
insurance strategy or a field specific insurance strategy.
When it's all said and done, the results are displayed in an
easy to read visual chart so you can see how different
scenarios compare.
