Surviving Tight Margins: Grain Marketing & Finance Strategies

cgb-agfi.com

Margins are tight, volatility is high, and every decision matters more than ever.

In this episode, we bring together two critical sides of the farm operation—grain marketing and agricultural finance—to help you build a smarter, more resilient plan for 2026.

We’re joined by Brett Strache from CGB Grain and Mike Eubanks from CGB AgriFinancial to break down what the market is telling us right now, how farmer behavior is shifting, and where the biggest risks—and opportunities—exist.

From commodity volatility and emotional marketing decisions to shrinking working capital and rising interest costs, this conversation focuses on the tools and strategies producers should be using to stay ahead.

We also dive into practical decision-making tools like loan calculators, ROI analysis for grain bins, and lease vs. finance vs. cash scenarios—helping you think through capital allocation in today’s environment.

This isn’t just a finance episode. It’s about putting your entire farm plan together—marketing, capital, and strategy—to make better decisions in both good times and tough ones.
