Introducing Crop Margin Management

Corn | Soybeans | Wheat

Atten Babler Commodities has been providing structured commodity margin management services for the ethanol, biodiesel, cattle, hog and dairy industries since 2006. On March 21st we officially expanded our services to include Margin Management for Corn, Soybean and Wheat Producers. What is Margin Management? Margin Management takes your futures & options hedging to the next level. It is a structured approach to managing your bottom line results. It allows you to get a handle on all of your numbers:

• Futures & Options Positions
• Basis and Cash Contracts
• Insurance
• Fixed, Variable and Financing Costs

Our powerful software system takes all of these variables and distills them into useful reports to help you understand your profit margins, exposure and risks. Reports for your operation are marked-to-mark daily and available 24×7 on our secure web portal. What are the Benefits of Margin Management? In today’s environment of extreme volatility and escalating production costs our existing margin management customers tell us they benefit from:

• A focus on bottom line results
• All of your information in one place
• Concise reports for making informed decisions
• Tools for evaluating price and yield stress test scenarios
• Timely information marked-to-market each day
• Close-outs for evaluating performance and managing credit lines

How Do I Get Started? Contact your broker if you are interested in learning more or getting started. They can give you an online demo, discuss the various reports that are available, and walk you through the annual crop budget questionnaire. Once we have your info it is our job to load it in the system and maintain your model. We are very excited about this new service. Now is the right time to start managing new crop profitability and hedge strategies, as well as to begin considering plans for 2014 and 2015. We look forward to answering any questions you may have about this new program. Sincerely, Carl, Chris, Kim, Karen & Kevin
