Our Online Course
Join our Winter Merchant Masterclass to gain the most comprehensive education available, teaching you all the core tenets of world-class risk management and merchant skills and mentality. This 10-week, 20 session class covers every facet of the craft and art of grain marketing, presented in a way that is 100% relevant to your operation. We will equip your toolbox with valuable knowledge, a comprehensive understanding of marketing options, asset valuation techniques, the psychology of a merchant, insights into your buyers’ thinking and incentives, methods to improve your bottom line, and strategies to avoid costly mistakes. Our passion for the agriculture sector drives us to make this skill set accessible to our producer students. Commit to learning, and we will revolutionize the way you operate forever.
Merchant Masterclass
With 50+ years of farming and corporate lives as merchants with some of the larger and more complicated risk books to manage in the U.S. and globally, we bring a unique perspective to our Merchant Masterclass. The typical producer has significant access to information from agronomy, equipment, finance, and futures market advisory. What isn’t taught is a deeper skillset in merchandising.
Some basic university instruction exists, but it needs to come with deep experience and relevance to be effective. The teaching is not backed with hands-on experience and the realities of psychological pressure, financial risk, assets, and specific local markets unique to your operation. We will bring you a permanent skill set that will benefit your operation by improving your profitability and helping you avoid costly mistakes. This brings a unique asset to your business with repeatable, permanent benefits that you control.
