Consulting Services

For the Results-Oriented Producer, Company

Brock Associates has been consulting and working alongside producers and agribusinesses to buy or sell agricultural commodities for 30-plus years.

Farm Businesses

Brock consultants give growers and livestock producers individualized attention and help improve their profits through better marketing. According to an informal survey, farmers use Brock Associates consulting services because they:

• Have little time for marketing – A number of our clients simply don’t have the time to devote to marketing to achieve the returns necessary in today’s financial environment.
• Lack interest in marketing – While most farmers enjoy the production side of the business, many do not like the marketing side.
• Don’t have confidence marketing – Although our clients understand the basics of the markets, they don’t have the marketing skills of a professional and are not confident making marketing decisions that so greatly impact their bottom lines.
• Want less stress – Watching the markets closely and making final marketing decisions is simply too stressful for some farmers.
• Seek harmony instead of discord – Many of our clients are involved in a farming business in which several individuals must agree on marketing decisions and prefer to have an independent third party handle the grain marketing.

If you identify with one or more of these reasons or if your interest is driven by a unique reason, call and talk to us to decide whether a Brock Associates consultant might be a good fit for you and your business.

Brock Associates has two consulting marketing programs designed for corn, soybean, wheat, oilseed, cotton, rice and livestock producers:

• Farm Marketing Consulting (FMC) 
• Total Marketing Program (TMP)
