What AgBridge does
An annual engagement where I execute the buy for you, deciding how much to own, when to price it, and when to ship it. I also manage contracts, monitor risk exposure, and line up alternative supply options before you need them.
Weekly updates, monthly outlooks, and alerts when something major moves, covering proprietary global indicators, regional basis and logistics, and the farmer demand that shapes your delivered price.
For lenders, investors, and acquirers looking at a fertilizer business: market structure, margin sustainability, and supply chain and counterparty risk. Fertilizer focus, with experience across grain and oilseeds.
In the spring of 2019, record flooding hit the central US. I saw what would follow: rivers closing, a plant faltering, and wholesalers selling out. We positioned urea ahead of all three, and the cooperatives we supplied across the Southern Plains had the only supply within 700 miles, so their farmers got nitrogen at the right place, time, and price.
About
I grew up on a corn and soybean farm in Springfield, Minnesota, and have spent 16+ years trading grain and fertilizer.
I've worked the buy and sell sides, so I know how manufacturers and wholesalers price, when they'll move, and what a buyer can push back on.
To give you firsthand knowledge of the fertilizer system, from the global manufacturer to the farmer, so you can keep serving your farmers and community. At AgBridge I don't sell tons or carry a physical position, so my only interest is yours.
Outside of work: Active on the farm, family, golf, college football, and hunting.
Let's talk through your next fertilizer buy. Whether we end up working together or not, you'll leave the call with a clear read on the market and at least one idea you can put to use.
