Individualized Plans for Continued Success
When you work with Hansen Agri-Commodities to develop a marketing plan for your business, you can be confident that we will provide you with the necessary tools to meet your specific needs. Unlike newsletters, hotlines, or managed-futures contracts, we are able to take into account factors like your existing grain sales and farm storage capacity. Because of our ability to adapt our service to each client, we are able to give sound, confident advice.
Hansen Agri-Commodities’ goal is to develop a plan that minimizes risk and maximizes profit over the long term by considering both your needs and the current market trends.

What We Offer
Financial Analysis
Good Decisions start with good information.
Since no two businesses are the same, we start by getting to know your operation. We’ll discuss your overhead, production efficiency, and debt leverage, as these factors produce different break evens for every business. An important part of the financial analysis step is developing an accurate estimate of your profit thresholds. This knowledge will allow us to make informed decisions about the plan we develop for you.
Risk Identification
We can understand what you risk once we understand what you value.
Next, we take the time to get to know more about your business. The goal is to understand your priorities so that we are able to develop a marketing plan that reflects them.
In short, we take the time to understand your hopes and your challenges before recommending a course of action.
QUESTIONS WE ASK INCLUDE:
- How much risk can your operation afford to take?
- What are your profit goals?
- Are you comfortable with over-the-counter contracts, futures, and options or do you prefer to be a strict cash grain seller?
- What are your cash flow needs?
- How variable are your yields?
- What kind of insurance protection do you carry?
Marketing Plans
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
After laying the foundation of financial and risk analysis, we devise a marketing plan of attack. We draw on our network of professional analysts and in-house specialists to develop a complete marketing plan based on your preferences and our outlook for prices, with profitability at its core. Our goal is to reduce your market risk substantially while at the same time maintaining as much flexibility and profit potential as possible. At this point, we will be able to provide you with detailed reports showing you how a decision will affect your bottom line. You’ll be able to make informed decisions based on measurable results and relevant data.
Plan Implementation
Time to turn plans into action.
When you write us the check for our plans, our job is not over — it’s just beginning. Building a sound marketing plan is only half the battle. Executing the strategy is the challenging part. We monitor your markets and act as your agent to maximize the total value of your production. While no plan can foresee the outside effects of weather or world events, we continually adapt our marketing approach as markets and your production potential change over the year. Individualized client management reports and frequent calls “just to check in” will detail your market status and keep you informed of exactly how we are implementing your marketing plan. Markets seem to move faster these days. Having someone watching your interests allows you to concentrate on operating your farm, without worrying about missed opportunities.
