Our Brokers can provide a variety of services to banks. Our programs include but are not limited to customer statement and position analysis services all the way up to personalized lender training sessions.

Farmers will often look to their Ag Lender for advice. When an Ag Lender is educated on all the risk
management options available, bankers are better equipped to serve their farm customers, which will
better solidify relationships for the future. Swenson Commodities is here to help educate Ag Lenders and
offer risk management training.
