Farm Marketing – Risk Management
Confidence in Every Acre. Certainty in Every Market.
At Advance Trading, our grain marketing brokers work one-on-one with farmers to build strategic risk management plans tailored to your operation. From season to season, acre to acre, our goal is simple: help you make confident, informed decisions to protect your farm’s profitability.
Customized Grain Marketing Plans
We know there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all in agriculture. That’s why our brokers build marketing strategies around your risk tolerance, grain storage, cash flow needs, and long-term goals. You’ll get a plan that fits. Whether you’re selling corn, soybeans, or specialty crops, our advisors work with you to develop forward-looking strategies using cash sales, futures, and options. We monitor the markets daily so you don’t have to, providing you with timely insight and recommendations.

Risk Management That Works as Hard as You Do
Markets are volatile, but your marketing plan shouldn’t be. With a clear understanding of your breakeven costs and profit targets, we help you manage price risk while keeping your production goals top of mind. Our Farm Marketing services include:
Personalized Grain Marketing Plans
Every farm is different and so is every grain marketing plan we build. Our brokers take the time to understand your operation’s size, crop mix, storage capacity, and financial needs. From there, we create a custom grain marketing plan that aligns with your goals, risk appetite, and market outlook. It’s a flexible, actionable roadmap that evolves with the season and keeps you in control.
Futures and Options Hedging Solutions
Using the grain futures market effectively requires the right tools and the right partner. Our advisors bring years of experience in commodity markets to help you hedge grain prices with confidence. Whether you're locking in profits or protecting against downside risk, we'll guide you through futures and options strategies that align with your overall marketing goals.
Cash Sales and Basis Contract Guidance
When and how to make a cash sale is a critical decision. We help you evaluate local basis levels, storage constraints, and delivery timelines to make the most of your pricing opportunities. Whether it’s a straight cash sale or a basis contract, our team offers real-time market insight to help you capitalize on the right moment.
Breakeven analysis and Risk Assessment
Knowing your breakeven is essential to making smart grain marketing decisions. We work with you to calculate your true cost of production, factoring in inputs, yields, insurance, and more. From there, we identify pricing opportunities that meet or exceed your profit targets—so every sale is backed by data, not guesswork.
Market Outlooks and Real-Time Updates
Agricultural markets move fast and having timely information can make all the difference. Our clients receive ongoing market outlooks, crop reports, and updates tailored to their region and commodities. With our team in your corner, you’ll always have a clear view of where the markets are headed and what it means for your farm.
A Trusted Risk Management Partner
Our brokers are more than marketers. They’re boots-on-the-ground advisors, here for you when you need them. With deep roots in agriculture and constant access to market data, they serve as an extension of your business, helping you make sound, strategic decisions every step of the way.
