“We’re using AgYield as an opportunity for the students who have learned different risk management techniques to really test those out and to see what the implications are.” Dr. Chris Hurt, Professor of Agricultural Economics- Purdue University

“A tool like AgYield is a product that helps us identify and create a measure and an awareness of the kind of risk that we face." “AgYield enables you to do some “What-If” scenarios by layering on levels of crop insurance, cash marketing, hedging, grain storage, a whole variety of marketing tools by spreading things out. You can still get to a point at which you can identify what your net price is for that commodity, relative to your cost of production and that is key information.” Dr. Mark Welch, Grain Marketing Economist- Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service

“We look at AgYield for crop insurance decisions. We try to use crop insurance as a marketing tool as well, as long as we can see in AgYield were our risks are going to be and where our profits are going to be.” “This team that put AgYield together is a very innovative team. They have very good understanding of marketing, options and all kinds of marketing strategies. They seem to have a handle on risk management and remember the importance of the profitability side of farming. They seem to have an understanding of it from a farmer’s point of view.” Scott Friestad, Farmer, Friestad Farms- Morris IL
