The Issue
Periods of great change are also periods of the greatest opportunity to create prosperity. How top producers respond to the current environment will change the course of their operations for generations.
Consolidation
The Ag Sector is experiencing rapid consolidation across the sector, from seed to chemistry, and equipment manufacturing to ag retail.
Loss Of Autonomy
As the sector is consolidating and the business of crop production is growing increasingly complex, top producers are suffering from reduced autonomy and control. Top producers are increasingly feeling like they don't have the choices they need to be competitive.
Complexity
Producers are facing increased complexity in all aspects of their operations requiring greater investments in time and more skilled labor, with cross-collateralized risk and financial liabilities.
Regulatory Environment
As the industry is tightening around top producers, they are also facing an increasingly coercive regulatory environment which is offering short-term gains for long-term captivity.
