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.
