Russell Consulting Group
 

Russell Consulting Group, a leader in marketing and financial advice to crop and livestock farmers across the U.S. and in Canada, has built a proven model of risk discovery, planning and management. Russell Consulting starts with an in-depth analysis of your farming operation, including current financial strength, and identifies areas of concern that prevent you from reaching your goals. Such detailed information sets a benchmark of gross dollars per acre needed to cover all operating costs and achieve your desired profit mark. This, in turn, serves as the foundation for a written marketing plan to achieve your objectives.

Our personalized program considers your comfort level in implementing marketing practices, tailoring recommendations to the specific needs of your operation. The Russell Consulting program also includes feasibility studies for major purchases such as land,machinery or buildings, as well as financial analysis of prospective strategic business partnerships, acquisitions or divestitures. Weekly and mid-week market updates are delivered by e-mail; daily text messages are an additional option for customers.

Through its network of experienced associates, Russell Consulting Group (russellconsultinggroup.net) works with the top 20 percent of crop and livestock producers in some 36 states and Canada advising these agri-operators on risk management and income protection through ongoing consultation services and detailed financial analysis.
