From left, Kevin, Steve and Neil Blume have found value in building a relationship with a marketing professional. REDUCING RISK & STRESS remain viable. The Blumes are no di erent. “Steve and I each have three young sons and we’d like them to have the option of continuing to run this farm someday,” says Kevin. To accomplish that, the Blumes regularly revisit marketing goals and strategies, updating the management plan they’ve crafted with Beadle’s help. A team of experienced risk consultants, including Beadle, four other CHS Hedging sta members and 20 independent associates, work under the AgSurion Risk Consulting banner. CHS Hedging acquired full ownership of the former Russell Consulting in 2018. “The name has changed, but we o er the same services, resources and commitment to our grower-customers,” says Beadle. “One of the fi rst things we do with each client is to complete a detailed fi nancial analysis of the operation to create a benchmark that we can compare future results against. We also compare the operation’s performance with the averages of our broader client group to provide a bigger picture of how the operation is doing and to help identify areas to improve.” > Farm Size of AgSurion Clients (acres) 5 ,0 00 00+ 7.6% < 1,0 00 0-5 ,0 2, 50 19.8% 28.6% 44.0% 1 ,0 0 0 -2,50 0 Source: CHS Hedging.
