Optimum: Reviewing Your Options
Behind the calculations are thousands of data points for commodity prices, yields, volatility, etc. Customer data are used to generate customized solutions; county data are used for demonstration purposes.
For instance, we worked with one farmer and found that by changing his coverage and plans, he was able to see a colored matrix showing the decision would remove all the likely yield/price combinations that would result in red ink for his operation at a very modest added cost.
Insight into the impacts of crop management decisions is a bonus. One South Dakota farmer, for example, looked at the chart of his yields vs. the county yield and immediately remarked he could see the result of each of the cropping improvements he had made during the past 10 years, validating those changes were effective in increasing his yields.
In the sample chart image, green indicates profit for that yield and price level; red indicates losses per acre. The darker the color, the more likely that outcome is.
