London, ON and Ames, IA ~ Farms.com Risk Management is pleased to announce the launch of its premium and standard crop and hog risk management programs. The programs provide hog and crop producers with a comprehensive online platform which incorporates a widespread collection of information including data, statistics and market analysis required to make smart marketing decisions. The program can also be delivered by e-mail and fax if preferred. Farms.com Risk Management works as an adviser to producers, farmers and agribusiness’ across North America in the marketing or crops and hogs and during the purchase of feed inputs.

“We have created the premium and standard crop and hog programs as a cost effective way for producers to access the information they need to know in order to improve their marketing and input purchases,” says Victor Aideyan, Sr. Risk Management Consultant for Farms.com Risk Management. “For one low monthly fee producers have access to a weekly newsletter, marketing recommendations, online tools, and telephone access to an expert. At Farms.com we are producers too and understand the physical side of the grain and hog business. We own and operate our own 2,000 acre farm so when we book or sell our grain and implement hedging strategies you will be the first to know. The online platform also allows us to include market quotes, news feeds, commentaries, USDA reports - all the information needed to make informed marketing decisions.”

“Producers are constantly on the go and have limited time to sift through the massive amount of information and facts available on the internet and elsewhere,” adds Moe Agostino, Sr. Risk Management Consultant. “Our crop and hog risk management programs perform that function by providing smart, easy to understand marketing advice with simple answers and smart solutions.”
