Nebraska is one of the top two cattle-feeding states in the country, home to more than 1.5 million beef cows and the nation's number one cow county. Projected cattle receipts dwarf corn and soybeans, which tells you where the risk lives. From the cow-calf herds of the Sandhills to the feedyards along the Platte, a single market move can swing a year's profit. And with over a billion bushels of corn grown here, much of it fed to those cattle, grain price matters whether you sell it or run it through the bunk.
We help on both sides: protecting cattle price and margin, and marketing corn on a plan. Local market knowledge, advisors who stay with you through the season, no set-and-forget.

LRP sets a price floor on feeder or fed cattle while leaving your upside open. For Sandhills cow-calf herds and feedyards alike, it turns your most exposed day into a planned one. No minimum head.
LGM protects the gross margin, cattle value minus feed and feeder cost, in one policy. For yearling and finishing operations exposed to both feed and cattle prices, it covers the squeeze from both sides.
With a billion-plus bushels of corn in play, a marketing plan protects price whether you cash-sell or feed. We coordinate cash, futures, and options and bring daily market insight.
Lock a floor on feeder calves, including unborn calves, ahead of marketing in the Sandhills and beyond.
Protect fed cattle price and margin through the feeding period with LRP and LGM.
Market your corn on a plan, whether you sell it or feed it to your own cattle.
We work with producers across Nebraska, from the cow-calf country of the Sandhills and Cherry County to the feedyards and irrigated corn of the Platte Valley and eastern Nebraska.
LRP sets a price floor on feeder or fed cattle. If the market falls before you sell, you receive the difference; if it rises, you sell into the higher market. With no minimum head, it fits Sandhills cow-calf operations and large feedyards alike.
LRP protects the selling price of your cattle. LGM protects the gross margin, the cattle value minus feed and feeder costs, which matters when feed prices and cattle prices move at the same time. An advisor can model both against your operation.
Yes. Nebraska produces over a billion bushels of corn a year, much of it fed to cattle in-state. We help with a corn marketing plan using cash, futures, and options, whether you sell the grain or feed it.
LRP is offered nearly every market trading day. Sales open after the market closes and run until 8:25 a.m. CST the next morning. Coverage attaches when you buy a specific coverage endorsement and RMA approves it.
