Ag Marketing Plan

Combine Harvesting Wheat

Why Hedging?

When you add hedging strategies to your ag marketing plan, you gain:

  1. The Confidence to set a price for a future sale – regardless of basis
  2. The Flexibility to offset at any time based on changing market conditions
  3. The Convenience to re-own your crop on paper after making a cash sale

Plus, with Daniels you’ll have a trusted advisor with you every step of the way to execute a plan tailored to the needs of your operation. Get your plan by completing our survey or learn more about hedging by watching our educational hedging videos.

  • Keep it Simple. We’ll work with you to know what you’re putting on, why, and how we’re going to manage the trade once it is on.
  • Save Money. We do not charge any management, subscription or production fees. Our focus is to provide you with all of our value on a complimentary basis as the foundation of our relationship.

  • Save Time. With Daniels, you will have access to all of the resources you need to launch and monitor a complete plan that addresses all of your marketing needs without bogging down your operation.
  • Get More for Less. We talk to far too many in the ag universe who are frustrated by the lackluster results they get from other, very expensive programs. To make matters worse, they often feel taken for granted, whether it be by these same high priced advisors or their local broker they’ve had forever.
