Advantage Plus Program

Customers quickly realize that Advantage Plus is unlike any other agricultural advisory service available today. Upon an initial interview with the producer, Advantage Plus professionals customize a risk management program designed specifically for the producer's independent operation. The interview consists of several detailed questions including the risk tolerance of the producer as well as cash flow requirements. There are three primary components of the Advantage Plus program:

• Seasonals - incremental marketing throughout the most favorable time frames of the year based upon a historical perspective.

• Price Targets - incremental marketing at statistically significant price levels determined by regression analysis.

• Subjective - incremental marketing at levels determined by Paragon's research and analysis team which is constantly evaluating current market conditions.

Perhaps the most distinct aspect of the Advantage Plus program is that Paragon becomes directly involved in the producer's cash grain sales. With an extensive network of merchandisers, Paragon leverages the bushels it manages by providing producers with bids that are usually better than they could achieve themselves. Whether it is a spot sale, forward contract, basis contract, or HTA, Paragon helps manage the actual bushels produced. Paragon's Advantage Plus program works in conjunction with governmental and insurance programs for an all-inclusive marketing plan.
