    Old & New Crop Risk Management Strategies & 2023 Market Outlook

    As we start 2023 – the stakes could not be higher for the agriculture sector! The world population is growing rapidly, crossing 8 Billion in November of last year. Due to the historic drought and war, there are lower stocks of the major grain supplies globally.   Energy and interest rates have accelerated rapidly vs. this time last year, leading to higher input costs and raising the break-even levels for farmers and end users to unprecedented levels…plus there is still a war going on.   To help give us some insight and answers to what lies ahead, we’re lucky to have two highly respected panelists with us today from both the banking and commodity risk management sides of the business; Rebecca King, Old National’s Agriculture Group, and Jody Lawrence, RCM Ag Services.

    The Tug of War on Fertilizer Prices —Are Prices Staying or Going with Dick Stiltz

    There is an agriculture tug of war happening across the nation, impacting America's farmland. Fertilizer prices are continuously fluctuating, and it has us taking a page from "The Clash" should we stay or should we go?! And, we aren't the only ones. Many farmers are asking their agronomist and chemical salespeople, "What will fertilizer cost me the rest of the season, and what are my options if I don't want to go all-in on my typical fertilizer treatment plan." In this episode of the Hedged Edge, we are joined by a special guest who needs no introduction in his local circle, Dick Stiltz. Dick is a 50-year veteran of the fertilizer and chemical industry and is the current Agronomy Marketing Manager of Procurement fertilizer and crop protection at Prairieland FS, Inc in Jacksonville, IL. He is at the pulse of the current struggle and here to discuss the topic at hand...Should we stay or should we go… Episode Quick Links: https://www.prairielandfs.com/ https://twitter.com/PrairielandFS https://www.facebook.com/PrairielandFS/ Do you have additional questions, contact Dick at dstiltz@prlfs.com.

    Linking U.S. Agriculture To The World With Maria Dorsett of USDA

    RCM Ag Services is putting a unique spin on National Agriculture Day by going international. That's right, we're jumping right into international waters with Maria Dorsett from USDA's Foreign Agriculture Services for an interesting discussion about linking U.S. agriculture to the rest of the world. Each year, March 22 represents a special day to increase public awareness of the U.S.'s agricultural role in society, so why not take it one step further by bringing in a global component? As the world population soars, there's an even greater demand for producing food, fiber, and renewable resources. That's why we're taking a deeper dive into the USDA's trade finance programs, like the GSM-102, which supports sales of U.S. agricultural products in overseas markets and supports export growth in areas of the world that are seeing some of the fastest population growth. So, jump aboard (no passport needed), as Maria discusses how U.S. companies use GSM-102, what the program features, and the benefits that it offers! Quick Links from the episode: Educational GSM presentations: USDA's Export Credit Guarantee Programs GSM 102 GSM 102 (Spanish) You can reach out to Maria at Maria.Dorsett@fas.usda.gov & by checking out the links below: https://twitter.com/USDAForeignAg https://www.facebook.com/USDA http://www.youtube.com/usda And last but not least, don't forget to subscribe to The Hedged Edge on your preferred platform, and follow us on Twitter @ag_rcm, LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/2878..., and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RCMAgServices.
