The Future of Farm Risk, Markets, and Decision-Making

Every farmer, manufacturer, and ag leader is facing the same reality right now:
Margins are tighter. Markets are more volatile. And the decisions carry more weight than ever before.

This month on The Momentum Network, we’re diving into the future of farm risk, grain markets, and decision-making—and how producers can build stronger, more resilient operations in an increasingly complex environment.

Our guest this month is Drew Jensen, co-founder of Tredas, a commodity risk management and crop insurance firm helping family farms make more confident, coordinated decisions around their revenue.

Drew brings decades of experience across grain merchandising, logistics, and large-scale commodity risk management—and a boots-on-the-ground approach to working directly alongside producers.

In this conversation, Drew will share real-world insight on how to:

  • Navigate today’s volatile grain markets with clarity and confidence

  • Align crop insurance, marketing, and financial strategy into one unified plan

  • Make better decisions under pressure—without second-guessing

  • Build a long-term risk management approach that supports growth

WHAT THE SMART MONEY SEES IN AG RIGHT NOW

Momentum Network Virtual Town Hall (Feb. 13, 10am central Webinar) 

Featuring: 

Steve Bruere 

President & CEO, Peoples Company 

Session Description 

Capital is still flowing into agriculture — but it’s moving differently than it used to. 

In this Momentum Network conversation, Steve Bruere shares what he’s seeing from the front lines of farmland, finance, and family ownership. Drawing from decades of experience working with farmers, landowners, and institutional investors, Steve breaks down where confidence is real, where it’s overstated, and what smart decision-makers are doing right now to protect and build long-term momentum. 

This is not a headline-driven discussion. 

It’s a grounded look at capital, discipline, leadership, and legacy in modern agriculture. 

What We’ll Cover 

● What smart capital is seeing in agriculture today 

● How land values, confidence, and fundamentals intersect 

● Where money is moving — and where it’s pulling back 

● Debt, discipline, and risk in uncertain times 

● Succession, legacy, and generational decision-making 

● Leadership lessons from thousands of ag operations 

● Live audience Q&A

Who Should Attend 

● Farmers & landowners 

● Ag business leaders & manufacturers 

● Next-generation operators 

● Investors & advisors 

● Anyone thinking long-term about agriculture and capital 

Why This Session Matters 

Momentum isn’t created by reacting late. 

It’s built by seeing clearly and acting early. 

This conversation is about understanding what smart money sees — and why it matters.
