Farming is like a Four Leaf Clover…But Luck Has Nothing to do with it!

September 23, 2014 by Summer

You might be wondering, what does a four leaf clover stand for if not luck? Well a four leaf clover needs all of its leaves to be complete. They all play an equal part in making up the clover. Farming also has four components, each of equal importance. Let’s review these four components of farming and how they contribute to a successful farm operation.

Four Components of Farm Profitability

Production – the leaf closest to the stem. Production is where it all starts, and where you have the most control. This is the part of farming when you focus on preparing the field, planting the right seed at the correct depth, nurturing it along the growing season and taking ownership for your business!
Crop Insurance – the leaf directly above production. This leaf protects your investment, secures revenue, and provides peace-of-mind. You need to make sure that your clover, or farm operation, is covered for the unexpected; the thing you can’t control; Mother Nature!
Grain Marketing – the remaining top leaf. Grain marking is the most challenging job farmers will face. Utilize Corn Capital Innovations’ experts to help you gain the knowledge that gets the best competitive advantage when it comes to the ever changing market. Remain on top!
Financial Management and Analysis – the final bottom leaf. Should you purchase that new piece of equipment or consider expanding your acreage? Corn Capital Innovations can help you figure out your profit margins, manage labor resources, and set you up with a secure business plan.

Maximize Your Farming Profitability

Success in farming doesn’t happen because of luck! Unlike a four leaf clover, you have the ability to make educated decisions and maximize your farming profitability. Every farmer and farming operation is unique, just like each four leaf clover in the field. Corn Capital Innovations provides a total farm business solution that can help meet those needs.

Are You Prepared? Crop Insurance Deadline is March 15, 2014

February 25, 2014 by Summer

Are You Prepared? Crop Insurance Deadline is March 15, 2014 Have you ever had your crop completely destroyed by hail, drowned out by rain, wilted by drought, or flattened by high winds? Weather is completely unpredictable and can be very stressful for farmers who plant their crop out in a field at Mother Nature’s mercy. That is why crop insurance is so important; it protects your bottom line and puts your mind at ease.

It is that time of year again; time to determine your crop insurance needs before the March 15th deadline. It’s important to know and understand how history, trends and other factors can influence the planning process.

Crop Insurance – Crop Protection Options:

Revenue Protection
Production Protection
Named Peril Insurance, more than just hail coverage it can include fire, lightning, vandalism etc.
Add endorsements to cover additional perils.

We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how many bushels you are willing to invest, to insure your entire crop. We review every policy and base the coverage on your farm operation and specific needs.

Don’t forget the deadline is March 15th, so give us a call today at (320) 523-2252. We can get you the protection needed and give you peace of mind in 2014.

How do you determine your crop insurance needs? Are you prepared for what Mother Nature has in store for 2014?
