Marketing Advice - MaxVisor is not a "one size fits all" approach to grain marketing. Given today's volatility and uncertainty, and considering the extreme difference between farm operations, MaxVisor recognizes that marketing advice should be tailored to your operation's individual needs.

All new MaxVisor clients are evaluated to determine their MaxVisor Risk Profile which includes consideration of numberous physical and financial aspects. We feel strongly that any approach to marketing must begin with this important first step because different risk profiles not only help dictate preferred marketing action, but also the means of accomplishing that action.

Actual marketing recommendations are made in cash market terms, with futures and options alternatives also provided. Recommendations include marketing of actual production (multiple years), as well as basis and spread recommendations.

Importantly, MaxVisor has no preference or bias regarding what company you sell your production to. You are encouraged to seek out - and it is our responsibility to help with this - the buyer(s) that allow you to maximize your bottom line.

Trading Advice- Although not for everybody, for those clients wanting to trade futures and options. MaxVisor makes frequent trading recommendations that can be executed through your choice of brokers. Our goal is to offer trading suggestions that, in the overall picture, help harness the risks you face, and offer an attractive risk/reward scenario.

Inputs - The cost of inputs has become staggering in recent years, and because of the tremendous volatility in the prices of these inputs, timing of purchases has become critical. MaxVisor is able to utilize their relationship with affiliated FS companies, and provide up to date market outlooks on key inputs including fuel costs and fertilizer.

Crop Insurance - Whether you choose to work with an agent from our affiliated crop insurance company, COUNTRY® Financial, or with a company of your choosing, MaxVisor offers insight and suggestions regarding crop insurance coverage. The details of your coverage will be a critical component of the crop marketing plan that we ultimately recommend for you.

Market Information - Latest fundamental and technical data and commentary are only a few mouse clicks or a phone call away. In addition, historical information is available, and we always welcome your questions and thoughts regarding past, present or future market behavior.

 Hedge Accounting - This service enables you and your MaxVisor Representative to see, at a glance, a summary of your personalized marketing data. This is critical in order to allow MaxVisor to make the most informed recommendations possible. This data includes sales to date, up to the minute value of unsold inventory, futures and options trades (both open and closed), average sales price, gross per acre, cost summaries, and breakeven calculations.

Professional Services - We recognize that financial, legal, and relationship counseling issues can arise at any time, and that timely answers to your questions are often needed. With this in mind, MaxVisor has entered into an agreement with the firm Guidance Resources, which offers professional advice that you can access around the clock, trusting that all communication is completely confidential.
