April 11, 2024 – Pinion Risk Management, LLC and Atten Babler Risk Management, LLC, two leading consulting and risk management firms to the agriculture industry, announced they have merged advisory resources and services, effective April 1, 2024. This strategic merger will further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness in addressing the challenging needs of agricultural client operations in the U.S. and abroad.
“Farming is a risky business. With changing policies, market risks, and geopolitical dynamics, it’s increasingly important to help producers manage farm risks, profitability, and cash flow,” says CEO of Pinion Risk Management, Chris Haverkamp. “This merger furthers our goal of providing agricultural producers a one-stop solution by offering a range of comprehensive services from a dedicated advisory firm that they trust.”
Founded in 1998, Pinion Risk Management provides a personalized, proactive, and profit-focused service that helps producers mitigate risk in a volatile market and capitalize on profitable market moves. Services include breakeven analysis, profit summaries, annual grain or livestock merchandising plans, customized hedge reports, and more. Pinion ag advisors achieve these objectives through extensive risk expertise, pro-active consulting, effective planning and coordinating, and a relationship focus.
“Atten Babler brings an experienced group of agricultural consulting advisors with marketing and insurance specialization in dairy, livestock, grain and other markets, and we’re excited to work together to deliver more robust resources and options for producers to use to strengthen their operations, protect their margins, and offset ag market risk,” adds Eric Osterhaus, principal and lead advisor at Pinion Risk Management.
For over twenty years, Atten Babler Risk Management has assisted commodity producers, processors, end-users, and traders in capturing opportunity and managing agricultural, energy and specialty commodity price risk. The firm’s commodity risk management consulting services include comprehensive margin management programs, proprietary market research, and strategic advisory. The firm also provides full-service futures and options brokerage as well as crop insurance with a focus on dairy and livestock insurance products.
“Helping clients thrive in volatile commodity markets is the shared mission of our firms,” says Will Babler, principal with Atten Babler. “Our clients in dairy, livestock, grain, and energy markets face an increasingly complex operating environment. We are confident that our combined resources and complimentary areas of expertise will help our clients solve the problems they face now and in the future. Being able to join forces with another firm that shares our values makes us very excited about the opportunities ahead for our clients and team members.”
