Commodity Marketing Advisory Services for Farmers and Agribusinesses
Managing commodity market volatility requires more than good timing — it requires a plan. At Midwest Market Solutions, we provide crop and livestock producers, family farms, cooperatives, and agribusinesses with customized commodity marketing advisory programs designed to support disciplined decision-making in volatile markets.
Our advisory services focus on helping producers protect margins, manage price risk, and align marketing decisions with operational goals, cash flow needs, and individual risk tolerance. Rather than relying on reactive or emotional decisions, our approach emphasizes structured planning, education, and consistent execution.
Founded in 2002, Midwest Market Solutions has earned national recognition for providing research-driven market guidance backed by decades of experience across multiple market cycles. Our advisory team serves producers across the Midwest, including Springfield, Missouri; Yankton, South Dakota; Thief River Falls, Minnesota; Pocahontas, Iowa; and surrounding regions, delivering local insight supported by national and global market analysis.
Our Approach To Commodity Marketing
Every producer’s operation is unique, which is why our advisory programs are tailored to individual goals, production timelines, and tolerance for risk. Our commodity advisors work closely with clients to develop long-term, structured marketing plans built on clarity, discipline, and flexibility.
Our approach emphasizes proactive decision-making rather than reactionary trades, helping producers navigate both rising and declining markets with confidence.
Price Target Planning
We work with producers to establish realistic price targets based on cost of production, historical market behavior, and current supply-and-demand dynamics. These targets provide structure and discipline, helping remove emotion from marketing decisions and supporting consistent execution.
Cash Sales Coordination
Effective marketing requires alignment between physical cash sales and futures or options strategies. Our advisors help coordinate cash grain and livestock sales with broader marketing plans, ensuring timing, volume, and pricing decisions support overall objectives.
Risk Management
Risk management is a core component of every advisory program. We help producers reduce exposure to adverse price movements through diversified strategies that may include futures, options, and insurance coordination—while maintaining flexibility as market conditions evolve.
