Producer Services is a marketing and price risk management advisory service designed to help growers get the most from their crop production.  Grower clients get a decision support system for crop marketing based on the same extensive fundamental supply/demand research effort used to advise large corporate agribusinesses.  Strategies combine the overall fundamental outlook with the needs of the individual.  The focus is on designing unique price risk management strategies that fit individual growers and on providing personalized service.  Service recommendations are delivered one-on-one from our crop consultants via telephone.
