Kluis Affiliate Managed Grain
What is Managed Grain?
In a managed grain program, farmers contract to deliver a specific number of bushels in a specific month to a selected location (or group of locations). Then, an independent third party--the “marketing agent”--establishes the futures price for that grain for the benefit of the producer. The marketing agent doesn’t tell you what to do; the marketing agent does it for you.

Why Managed Grain?
We are in an era of unprecedented market volatility. The price at which you sell your crop--regardless of your yield--has a huge impact on your farm’s profitability. You work hard at getting the best yield...and you need to work just as hard at getting the best prices. Sometimes that means adding more people to your team to help you get your crop sold for the best prices.

Committing some of your bushels to a Managed Grain program is part of a diversified, disciplined marketing plan.

Why Kluis Affiliate Managed Grain?
Al Kluis, an independent commodity trader and analyst, has 35 years of experience in trading the grain markets. He is the only remaining approved marketing agent for the largest managed grain program in the industry, the Cargill Pro-Pricing program. Now, Al and his independent team of hand-picked, experienced Al Kluis Affiliates have decided to make their own managed grain program available to selected partners. In addition to working with Al on the Master Marketing Sales Plan, the Affiliates will enroll the bushels and be the on-the-ground local contact.

How does the Kluis Affiliate Managed Grain program work?
