In the future, look for quarterly updates on other industries including: swine, dairy and  renewable fuels.

Grain production is a dynamic industry. Rising energy prices and the growing global demand will keep the spotlight on corn, soybeans and renewable energy well into the future. Success in today’s global grain market takes a unique balance of production, marketing and risk management.

Grain producers represent the largest segment AgStar serves, comprising over 26% of our portfolio. We make it our business to stay in tune with the heartbeat of the industry, which in turn, keeps you on the cutting edge.
