Commodities
Agri Profit Analyzer is a web-based risk management program that analyzes farm profitability, by combining financial analysis with various crop insurance and commodity marketing strategies. The program automatically updates commodity market prices on a daily basis, allowing users to easily see the effect that market volatility has on their bottom-line. With break-even prices already computed, creating a marketing plan is easier than ever before; and by entering your own unique profit goal the program automatically determines what price you need to sell your un-priced grain in order to achieve your profit objective. But perhaps the most powerful feature is the ability to run an unlimited number of what-if scenarios, quickly determining the effect that changes to yield, price, cash rent, seed, fertilizer, etc. has on total, as well as, individual farm cash flow.
Key Features:
- Be More Organized. – All of your farm’s numbers that affect cash flow are available in one place - essentially a database of your farming operation’s yields, costs, etc. that you can refer back to in future years.
- Create a Marketing Plan. – By determining your farm’s own unique cost of production & break-even market price you now have the information needed to begin to build a Marketing Plan that is unique to your own farming operation.
- Set Goals. - Establish a profit objective and determine the market price needed to achieve your goals.
- Make Better, More Informed Decisions. – By being able to break-out and record information down to the individual farm level, you can quickly determine which farms are making money and which farms may actually be costing you.
- Keep Up-To-Date. - Each day, after the market closes the value of your un-priced grain, open futures & options positions are updated – providing a “Daily Snapshot” of your farm’s profitability.
- Stress-Test your Farm. - Perform an unlimited number of “What-If Scenarios” and quickly determine the impact that changes to yield, price, cash rent, seed, fertilizer, etc. has on your cash flow.
- Stay Connected. – Conveniently send reports via email to others who have a vested interest in your operation; for example, lenders, consultants, business partners, whereby everyone is on the same page with up-to-date information.
