HOW IT WORKS

Your time is valuable.

Do you really need more news and alerts? Or do you need to know whether prices are moving higher or lower and what’s coming up to change the trend? Our expert analysts answer the question “Should I sell today or wait?”

Our research process is proven by decades of success in advising farmers when to sell to capture prices in the top end of the range. Our analysts start with the end in mind. A multi-year marketing plan that anticipates opportunities keeps farmers at the ready.

With your newsletter subscription you’ll have a clear understanding of the current market situation, a firm view to short-, mid- and long-term price direction, and advice on when to sell and why — without having to do all the leg work and analysis yourself.

HOW IT WORKS

You don’t have to go at it alone.

Imagine no longer having to worry about missing out on marketing opportunities! Our grain marketing advisors have decades of experience in creating and executing marketing plans for farmers, and they care for your business as if it were their own.

Our advisors take the guesswork and stress out of decision-making. Using market analysis and information about your farm, planting and sales decisions become black and white: numbers-based and profit-motivated.

Your local FarmLink advisor knows the challenges and opportunities in your area. They will meet with you one-on-one to stay on top of your farm’s needs, building a customized plan where each sale works as hard as possible to maximize your profit. They handle price discovery, regularly report on your sales position, and much more.

We have three different packages to best meet the needs of your farming operation, including one specific to colonies.

HOW IT WORKS

Futures and options can be difficult to understand.

Futures and options can be difficult to understand, but it’s becoming more important than ever for growers to know how they work. This training and support program works to teach you how futures and options relate to local cash prices for western Canadian crops — and how hedging can help manage risk on your farm.

Along with 18 training videos, you’ll receive a self-directed pre-work and homework package. You’ll learn tools for hedging, including entry and exit strategies, puts and calls, longs and shorts, cost-effective alternatives, and finding and working with a futures broker. Ongoing personal support and coaching means there’s always someone there to keep you motivated or to further break down a complex topic.

We take the time to make sure you are comfortable with the strategies and know exactly how to execute them properly. Armed with FarmLink’s Education Solutions, you’ll be able to manage price risk, achieve optimum crop pricing and increase your marketing flexibility.
