“Successful marketing during uncertain times,” is the title of the presentation that will be given by Ed Case, a consultant with Hurley and Associates at the 2018 Farm News Ag show.

Case is scheduled to speak from 9-10:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5.

Case will provide a brief market outlook and explain marketing strategies offered at Hurley and Associates.

“We are a marketing advisory service, we work with producers to help them market their grain,” he said. “We take an approach of risk management marketing-we encourage the use of options to manage the risk of market uncertainty. We encourage producers to do a break even analysis to determine exactly what they need out of the market to be profitable.”
