The Seven Pillars for Successful Marketing
![Page 15: Commodity Risk Manager ProEdge Marketing Central Valley Ag · Farm and cattle feedlot Columbus, NE Graduated from UNL – May 1999 Johannes Farms, Inc – 1999 to 2005 Cargill in](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042221/5ec731ec730fe931f161756b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Know your investment• Do you know what makes you money?
Everyone’s breakeven is differentMoving parts• Before harvest project an average yield• Refigure after harvest when bushels are known
The more time and information you put in, the more you will get out• Reevaluate at least each quarter
![Page 17: Commodity Risk Manager ProEdge Marketing Central Valley Ag · Farm and cattle feedlot Columbus, NE Graduated from UNL – May 1999 Johannes Farms, Inc – 1999 to 2005 Cargill in](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042221/5ec731ec730fe931f161756b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
<10% do this on their own• I never had to do that before.• “Why should I do it now?”
Answer: Higher Prices = Greater RiskWhat Got You Here, Won’t Get You ThereMarshall Goldsmith

The Goal is Profitability (not bragging rights)

This is the way everyone talks!The Board of Trade That’s the way we have learned to market grain!Everyone WANTS to feel like the winner!!

“Should I sell today or tomorrow?”You either feel great or you feel like a failureFull of regrets and “what if’s”
Reduces emotionMore consistent returnsHealthier way of looking at sales
![Page 23: Commodity Risk Manager ProEdge Marketing Central Valley Ag · Farm and cattle feedlot Columbus, NE Graduated from UNL – May 1999 Johannes Farms, Inc – 1999 to 2005 Cargill in](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042221/5ec731ec730fe931f161756b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Buy Fertilizer, Sell Grain• If you buy $50,000 of fertilizer• Sell 10,000 bushels of corn
Lock in inputs, sell outputs• Cash rent• Diesel fuel• Herbicide• Insecticide

You have now hedged your input purchases with salesWhen you are done paying for inputs, you should have 10-50% left to marketEven if you are wrong, you have paid for expensesTHIS REMOVES A LOT OF STRESS!! ☺

Issue – you want to be RIGHTInbound calls three days prior to a report• Increase ~ 5x • “What’s the report going to say?”• You might be right on 90% of the numbers in a
single report• That last 10% might be the difference in the
direction of the market • ANSWER: No one knows
Moral – Do Not Try to Outguess the USDA
