Position Yourself for Opportunity in the Grain Markets
Dec 15, 2025
Grain marketing success isn’t about guessing or chasing the market. It’s about understanding the landscape, knowing your options, and being ready when opportunity presents itself.
This winter, Innovative Ag Services is hosting a series of grain marketing meetings across our territory to share timely market insights and practical perspectives you can apply to your operation. These meetings are designed to help you think ahead, ask questions, and connect directly with IAS grain marketing originators who work with producers every day.
Depending on the location, members of our agronomy, feed, and energy teams will also be available to answer questions and share updates on what’s happening across those areas of your operation. It’s an opportunity to have real conversations with the people you already work with — all in one place.
Each meeting will include a casual meal or refreshments, depending on the location and time of day. The setting may vary, but the goal remains the same: provide helpful information in a comfortable, no-pressure environment.
The first three meetings are scheduled for Central City, Manchester, and Waukon, with additional locations being added soon.
