MISSION
To assist in the development and execution of production marketing plans suited to the individual producer's needs while utilizing the highest level of service, professionalism and integrity that our customers expect and deserve.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
AgWest recognizes that while producers are good at growing a crop, or raising livestock, many struggle with selling it. Whether you need help creating a marketing plan and executing the actual sale, navigating the many tools available to manage risk or managing the stress that comes with it all, the AgWest team serves as a “Marketing Partner” for producers. The first of its kind, our full-service grain marketing program, Revenue and Profit Management (RPM), utilizes both the futures and cash markets. Through RPM, the farmer works with their AgWest advisor to develop a written marketing plan that meets their operation’s financial goals. Together we determine the producer’s cost of production to establish the plan’s foundation. Sales targets are then set and will be executed in either a hedge account or directly with customer's preferred buyers. AgWest’s premier RPM service has maintained an average of 90% customer retention since 2009.
Celebrating our 25th Anniverasry in 2024, AgWest has grown into the premier marketing firm for the Western Corn Belt. With a team of 45 folks who are dedicated to the company's mission of quality and professionalism, we have built relationships with over 3,000 customers. Based in Holdrege, Nebraska we serve producers out of 11 offices across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Colorado.
So much has changed over the past 25+ years, but AgWest’s dedication to their customers and delivering profitability-based marketing plans, has remained constant. Risk management comes in many forms but getting out on a farm, truly seeing and understanding an operation and its needs, serves as the backbone to AgWest’s approach.
