A dedicated advisor paired with MatrixLZ removes emotion around important financial decisions. Farm clients are able make objective decisions in stress filled moments of the growing season.

Shield from On Farm Drivers

Fluctuating yields, input costs, infrastructure investment, storage costs, debt structure, and land management are examples of ON FARM DRIVERS that contribute to income volatility.

Market Eliminate the Risks

Commodity futures prices, geo-political developments, supply/demand projections, and government interventions are a few MARKET DRIVERS that can attack farm income.
