1. Expert Insights
It all starts with the right information. With Ted Seifried and Karen Braun leading the way, your operation benefits from knowledge not found elsewhere.

2. Customized Strategy
The first tier of our strategy is a responsive annual strategy. As the market pivots, our strategy shifts to help maximize opportunities and protect against risk. The strategy that’s going to help you succeed not only requires alignment with your precise situation, but it must also pivot as conditions or market backdrops change.
Our team is dedicated to your operation throughout the entire year, monitoring markets and reformulating strategies to leverage the best opportunities as they present.

3. Speculative Strategy
The second tier of our strategy is speculative strategies, or what we like to call adding pennies to bushels. Using a defined risk and benefit criterion, we put together strategies to help when prices are low.
For example, we might discover a scenario where, for 4 cents a bushel risk/investment, we aim to collect a 12-cent to 20-cent per bushel return.
