Hedging Consultation
Independent Hedging Consultation and Agricultural Strategy Support
Objective and Transparent Risk Management Advice
ATI offers comprehensive hedging consultation to producers, grain buyers, processors, and end users looking for independent support in managing commodity price risk. Our team does not profit from grain trades or biased recommendations; we help you evaluate your exposures and build custom hedge strategies.
Hedging Strategy from a Company You Can Trust
Unlike brokers or buyers, we don’t benefit from the trades you make. Our only goal is to help you build a hedging program that aligns with your business goals. Whether you're managing a farm, a feedlot, a grain elevator, or an ethanol plant, our team works with you to understand your operational exposures and design hedge strategies to reduce financial risk.

A Customized Hedging Consultation Includes:
Risk Exposure Assessment
The consultation process begins with a detailed risk assessment. We identify where your business is exposed to price volatility, whether through unpriced grain, forward delivery contracts, or raw input purchases.
Our consultants map your exposures based on:
-
Physical grain positions
-
Inventory timelines
-
Forward commitments
-
Revenue targets
Strategy Design
We collaborate with you to build a strategy that uses the right tools, futures, options, structured products, or crop insurance, in the right combination to address those risks. These strategies may include:
-
Short futures hedges
-
Put option floors
-
Covered call strategies
-
Spread protection trades
Execution and Monitoring
We provide continuous support and monitoring throughout the marketing year. This includes regular check-ins to evaluate hedge performance, adjust for market movement, and ensure that your plan remains effective and aligned with your revenue or margin targets.
On-Demand Consultation and Educational Tools
Education is also core to what we do. Whether you want to learn more about option spreads, calendar spreads, or insurance interactions, we offer workshops, one-on-one sessions, and easy-to-digest insights that help you better understand how your hedge strategy works.
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.
