Philosophy: 

Your marketing needs are different from your neighbor's -- your goals, costs, knowledge, experience, production and finances are different.  At MWAS, we understand these differences and work with you to design and implement a personal marketing program customized for your farm.

We focus on your specific needs first and foremost. MWAS advisors use historical price levels, strong seasonal price patterns and a range of techniques to help you reach your goals. We help you understand your marketing position, identify market opportunities and protect you against possible risks.

Using the position management philosophy they help producers make sound marketing decisions and understand the financial impact of their decisions. MWAS believes that understanding your market position is critical and provides detailed Market Position Reports for each crop that include mark to market revenue, position graphs, options & futures, insured bushels sold, delivery and revenue schedules and more.

Understanding the impact of your crop insurance decisions as they integrate with your marketing plans has become increasingly more important. MWAS uses a crop insurance modeling program to illustrate your personal market position with your crop insurance and provide a profitability analysis.
