Peace Of Mind

A letter from our co-founder
Dear Crop or Livestock Producer,
Running a profitable farm business is hard.
You have tight margins, tough decisions, complexity and uncertainty.
Management decisions are often risky and complex, and the more they are, the more important they are.
You're probably entering data into dumb spreadsheets or farm management software that sucks your time and gives little in return. Or worse, you are flying blind.
You are not losing sleep about where you've been. You are losing sleep about where your business is heading. So looking backwards is backward. It is easy to lose lots of money.
Risk lies in the extremes, not the averages. So why are you doing cash flow forecasts on averages?
Or if you're like most, you are not doing cash flow forecasts at all, because they mean nothing next week when weather and commodity prices are bouncing around like a yo-yo.
However, faulty decision making is as damaging to a farm business as faulty equipment, fertilizer or feed.
You need to think strategically and through the ripple effects of your decisions.
Make decisions with eyes wide open, instead of wondering and worrying. Take the stress out of the big impact decisions.
The real difference of the top 20% of producers is that they make better decisions at the right time.
You need a better business tool to succeed.
AgCast is for farmers who believe in enhancing intuition with evidence-based decision tools.
Our advanced analytics help overcome cognitive biases that can lead managers to make irrational risk-management decisions.
We help producers like you maximize profit and minimize downside risk using the best available data, software and advisers.
We promise that you will get a 10x return on your time and money or we will refund your investment 110%.

Customized Recommendations
We use algorithms and machine learning, combining data, mathematics, analytics and predictive modeling, to produce customized recommendations designed to help growers farm more profitably with lower volatility. They give specific advice for managing critical tasks throughout the year:
- Crop farmers: what, where and when to plant, what nutrients, spray and irrigation to apply, when to harvest and when to sell.
- Livestock producers: when and where to buy animals, what animals to breed, which paddocks to graze, when and what feed to buy and when to sell.
- Every decision: free of human emotion and bias, for optimal risk-adjusted returns on the capital used to farm.
Evidence-Based Decision Making
AgCast is partly inspired by Ray Dalio, founder of one of the world's largest hedge funds, who credits computer-based decision-making tools for much of his success.
Tools like these capture more logic, process more information more quickly, and make decisions without being emotionally hijacked. Dalio expects smart decision makers to integrate such “machine-thinking” tools into their thinking:
“I urge you to learn about them and consider using them.”
