Trader PhD Ag Marketing gives farmers actionable insights to make informed marketing decisions. Trader PhD brings over 30 years of experience supporting farmers and ranchers and helping them navigate market changes. We use that expertise to offer valuable strategic insights that give our listeners a competitive edge. 

Farmers face many challenges throughout the year, including weather, disease and geopolitics - much of which is out of their control. When drought strikes, crop insurance is relied on to collect a paycheck. Different weather conditions breed diseases that attack crops. A war overseas may constrain a large share of global supplies. 

Agricultural markets are no exception. Large global supplies may suppress crop and livestock prices, or a trade war may shift demand away from growers. Effective risk management is crucial for producers due to the substantial risks that affect an operation’s profitability. 

Confidence in Every Market Decision

Trader PhD helps put some of the control back into farmers’ hands through our ag marketing services. 

The most valuable asset is time. Our regular broadcast phone calls keep that in mind by offering sharp, concise and data-backed analysis. Trader PhD cuts through the noise and gives farmers an idea of the market’s tone. The broadcasts paint a picture that helps listeners better understand what is impacting the price of their commodity. 

The most challenging part about marketing a crop is knowing when to sell. An early sale can lead to missed opportunities. A late sale can lead to regret. Having the courage to market a commodity can protect profits. With our buy and sell signals, clients can feel confident when making marketing decisions.

That’s the key: confidence. The market will do everything it can to make a decision feel wrong. Having a process differentiates an effective marketing plan from an ineffective one. Creating a plan and executing it reduces the pain of regret. Farmers don’t have to navigate the markets alone. Having a partner that combines knowledge and strategy takes out the guesswork.

“At Trader PhD, our mission is to empower grain and livestock producers with genuine commodity market insights and authentic strategic guidance to protect their bottom line.”
