You have a lot of decisions to make on the farm, and some of those decisions are made by default as you run out of time before the next season. Many times the timeline is set by others. Imagine what would happen if you created the timeline by working ahead and being strategic about your farm - instead of being reactionary. Water Street Solutions' Director of Development Dean Heffta talks about this topic with KRVN's Ken Rahjes.

A good market advisor tracks the pieces of the economy and production that influence prices, but ultimately, no one can predict every market move. History shows us that often good pricing opportunities come during the growing season. Water Street Solutions Market Advisor Chip Nellinger talks here with KRVN's Ken Rahjes about marketing your crop during the growing season.

Marketing your crop is tough if you don't follow a strategy. A good strategy involves knowing ahead of time what price you need to get out of the market because you know where you stand financially and what number you have to hit to handle your long term break evens, which include short term and long term debt, depreciation, family living expenses and profitability. The next element that has to be in place is risk management. KRVN's Ken Rahjes talks about this with Water Street Solutions' Market Advisor Chip Nellinger.
