Risk Management in Agriculture

On this episode of Local Cents, Mike DeLong, VP/Commercial/Agriculture Loan Officer with Pillar Bank talks with Jon Bahr of Ever.Ag, a Platteville-based risk management firm serving farmers nationwide. Jon focuses on grain marketing, while Ever.Ag supports the full farm-to table spectrum with dairy, livestock, and feed too. This year’s market has been tough: low volatility and prices below “break even” have made profitability a challenge. Jon shares how marketing, paired with insurance and strong communication, helps farmers set goals and manage risk. One key takeaway? It’s never too early to plan for next season and years to come. Tune in for practical insights from these experts.
