I am a commodity trader specializing in managing the risks inherent in production agriculture. The ARC Group was formed in September, 2003 based in Lincoln, NE by a group of brokers/consultants that believed commodity risk should be managed by developing a sound, personalized grain marketing plan. Our philosophy is that risk should be managed by creating a consistent strategy to deal with the inevitable uncertainty of today's volatile markets. The ARC Group's goal is to have a plan in place that minimizes futures risk and takes advantage of basis and carry to maximize profit over the long term. Since it is impossible to predict markets in the long term, we feel it is more important to execute a consistent approach. Execution sometimes proves difficult. Our clients rely on us to execute their plan from start to finish.Since The ARC Group was formed, we have also been helping clients hedge their energy price risks by developing a customized hedge plan. Clients include farmers, custom harvesters, distributors, feed yards, and trucking companies.
