Decisive Farming and INTL FCStone expand grain marketing offering

Professional pricing program now available to Decisive Farming customers.

Calgary, Alberta (June 25, 2019) – Decisive Farming, the leading integrated farm management platform, in conjunction with its strategic partner,  INTL FCStone Inc. (NASDAQ: INTL), a diversified global financial services organization providing risk management and advisory services, execution, market intelligence and clearing services across asset classes and markets around the world, announced an expansion of their physical risk management products for agricultural growers in Canada with new pricing programs and cash contracts.

The physical products offered by FCStone Merchant Services, LLC (FMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of INTL FCStone Inc., allow Decisive Farming’s customers to mitigate price risk and manage their commodity purchase and sales without tying up the physical grain to a particular elevator and the valuable resources involved in accounting, logistics and hedge management.

FMS’s pricing program, Merchants Plus, provides growers the opportunity to share in the performance of professional marketing strategies for a portion of their crop. Depending on the strategy selected, a hedging plan will be run on behalf of all participants and the gains or losses will result in an effective ‘Merchant Plus Price’ which is used to settle the growers’ cash contracts.

In addition to Merchants Plus, FMS offers cash pricing strategies that can be added to physical contracts which include Futures First and other options-based risk management tools, with the flexibility to deliver to the grower’s most advantageous delivery location.

“FMS products will add significant value to existing commodity risk management services offered to Decisive Farming’s customers,” said Remi Schmaltz, CEO of Decisive Farming. “This game changing component will bring additional tools to our growers looking to diversify their marketing approach and maintain an unbiased position in the grain value chain.”
