About AgMAS - Agricultural Market Advisory Services

Objectives

The AgMAS project has a goal of developing an objective and comprehensive analysis of the performance of agricultural market advisory services. Specific objectives include:

  1. Determine, annually, the net price that corn, soybean, wheat and hog producers would receive by following advisory service recommendations

  2. Evaluate market advisory service pricing performance relative to market benchmark prices.

  3. Evaluate market advisory service pricing performance relative to farmer benchmark prices wherever feasible.

  4. Determine if pricing performance is predictable based on past pricing performance.

  5. Determine the characteristics of market advisory services that are correlated with performance.

  6. Determine the relationship between pricing performance and riskiness of recommendations.

  7. Develop an extensive performance profile of each advisory service.
