With Dr. David M. Kohl

Ida Hurley founded Hurley and Associates in 1988 with the mission of helping agricultural producers realize economic stability while maintain-ing the dignity and value of the family farm. The key to her early success revolved around providing education on the tools and challenging producers to take a business minded approach to marketing. Almost 30 years later, Hurley and Associates partners with producers in 13 states and continues to develop and execute personalized market plans based on

the same core philosophies.

Marketing consultants Andrew Fink, Kraig Charron, and John Melius each grew up on family farms in South Dakota and Nebraska. Along with the rest of the Hurley team, they enjoy being involved in farming operations throughout the western corn belt and taking on the challenge of creating clarity amidst market uncertainty.
