Testimonials

“AgPerspective’s team is second to none in the world of crop insurance and grain marketing. They are a key component that consistently adds to our bottom line. Brian Freise and AgPerspective have been part of our inner circle for many years. The trust we have in them to monitor what is best for our operation in the complex world of crop insurance is hard to put a dollar amount on but is significant every season. We trust them to give us recommendations that we implement in our grain marketing plan every year. Highly recommend.”

— Mike Johnson, Chadwick, IL

“Prior to connecting with AgPerspective, our farm was using crop insurance through another company. It was a very generic approach to crop insurance. AgPerspective and the team Brian Freise has assembled, including our agent David Ricks, has given our farm a total view of how crop insurance, farm programs and grain marketing are all interconnected in our decision-making process. They have excellent insight and direction to provide good information for our farm crop insurance and marketing direction each year. Thank you for your expertise!”

“Working with the team at AgPerspective has tremendously helped me with my grain marketing. By having a great relationship with local end-users and by understanding what basis levels are trading and are possible, they have helped me to obtain sales levels that I know that I could not have achieved on my own. I value the time savings of not having to make all the phone calls myself. Being a young farmer, I also appreciate the education I receive on grain marketing and how it connects to crop insurance. AgPerspective is an extremely valuable component of my farming enterprise.”

“I consider AgPerspective to be an important part of my farming operation. Today’s agricultural environment is fast paced and ever changing. I like that one company can offer me expertise on crop insurance, farm bill, marketing, merchandising, and consulting on anything ag related. The guys I work with and the office staff are always just a phone call away, and we meet face to face a couple times a year. AgPerspective gives me peace of mind that I've got someone looking out for mine and my farm's best interest.”

— Tom Tucker, Fountaintown, IN

“Many years ago, we were going through a tough phase when Ron (Streitmatter) stopped and I was intrigued by their marketing ideas. We’ve gained trust and peace of mind and the time we have now is beneficial. We operate as a family farm with multiple generations and different personalities/tolerances of risk. AgPerspective takes the emotion out of the equation and their personalized approach is very good . AgP helps us stay focused and on target. They look at the big picture.”

— Tim Main, Knox County, IL

“We moved to AgPerspective when our previous agent retired and a friend at church recommended Dave (Ricks). With AgPerspective, we know we have a partner in our corner, and there is no second guessing. Everything AgPerspective has done has exceeded my expectation - from marketing emails to spreadsheets. You see all options at once. I would tell anyone looking for a crop insurance agent, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. You get a whole lot more for the same premium. AgP does one thing and does it great.”

— Nathan Wood (6th generation farmer), Hancock/Madison County, IN

“AgPerspective has definitely exceeded my expectations by their ability to operate outside the box. AgP uses different platforms, CME options, government subsidies and private products. Prior to that, our operation was pretty standard. I would recommend AgPerspective because they do things 99% of the industry cannot or won’t do, whether due to lack of knowledge or desire. AgPerspective passes that education on to us.”

— Chad Groenhagen, Ogle County, IL

“Since moving to AgPerspective, we have gained better Crop Insurance protection and market strategies, including calls, puts and spreads. They suggest products my previous agent never talked about (like using Crop Insurance as a market strategy). My marketing is more consistent and we now have a disciplined approach. I would highly recommend AgPerspective to someone considering it. Be patient the first year – it can be uncomfortable and a shift in mindset. But in the end, you will be happy.”
