Who We Are
At AgrisAcademy, we understand the significant divergence between what farmers are told they need to be effective marketers of their production and what they really need. Having been farmers and 50+ year veterans of a major grain and processing company, we have seen growers miss millions of dollars in opportunities, not from speculating on markets, but from not using the correct tools for the situation.
We have learned the tricks of the trade, and we know that our ability to simplify and provide relevant examples, combined with your desire to improve, will allow you and critical members of your team to learn and grow. We believe farms spend too much time focused on events and data that they cannot control. Reallocation of precious time to learning a lifetime skill will help you secure the competitiveness of your operation today, and for many generations to come.
Corporate Clients
Leverage 50+ years of experience in corporate risk and project management to define ways to optimize your strategy. The team at AgrisAcademy managed some of the more significant commodity positions traded anywhere and also worked in a Fortune 25 corporation managing C-level strategy and M & A projects. We can help you quickly identify strategic approaches and team structures to improve your approach to commodity risk management.
- Identify Risks. We will isolate how and when risk is incurred in your business. Through thorough analysis and assessment, we will identify the specific areas and circumstances where risks are present within your organization. This understanding will enable us to develop targeted strategies to mitigate and manage those risks effectively.
- Learn Risk Opportunities. Our team will design best practices for accumulating risk positions. We will work closely with you to develop a comprehensive approach to build and manage your risk positions strategically and optimally. This will involve identifying suitable risk-taking opportunities and implementing effective risk-management techniques.
- Measure Risks. We will assist you in developing risk management metrics and limits. By establishing robust metrics and limits, we will enable you to monitor and control your risk exposure more efficiently. These metrics will serve as critical indicators allowing you to make informed decisions and take timely actions to mitigate potential risks.
- Manage Risks. Our services also encompass reviewing the organizational structures needed to support your risk management efforts. We will assess your organization’s current structure and recommend necessary adjustments or enhancements to ensure your risk management function is well-integrated and aligned with your business objectives.
