Pro Farmer Introduces I=puts Monitor

Cedar Falls, I= (June 22, 2012) — Professional Farmers of America, a division =f Farm Journal Media, announces the launch of a new subscription service c=lled Pro Farmer Inputs Monitor. The service includes a Web-based pr=ce survey plus Pro Farmer’s editorial coverage of time=y news, analysis and pricing information on the costs for many key produce= inputs.

“A handful of fertilizer and fuel products accou=t for more than half of input costs for a typical Midwest row-crop produce=,” said Chuck Roth, Senior Vice President and General Manager for . “And unlike grain prices, where there is an abundanc= of transparency, reliable in-depth pricing data for inputs is either unav=ilable or difficult to obtain. Inputs Monitor changes that.”<=r />
Pro Farmer has established a weekly telephone survey from=the company’s call center with the participation of more than 300 re=ailers across 12 Midwest states to capture current prices for anhydrous, M=P, DAP, UAN, urea, potash, liquid propane and farm diesel.

For =ubscribers, this information is available through an online tool that repo=ts price ranges within each USDA Crop District. Future applications will i=clude trending data and charts, as the pricing data gains density and buil=s history.

Subscriptions available to producers, retailers and =ndustry include full access to the online price survey tool, online blogs,=articles, purchase alerts and other information.

Pro Farmer<=i> editor Chip Flory added, “Clearly, the combination of today&rsquo=s high input costs plus wild price volatility puts producers and retailers=at huge risk. Pro Farmer is already well-known and respected for it= coverage of industry news and marketing advice. We’re now extending=this expertise to the cost side of the equation to help farmers and retail=rs manage their margin and risk.”

Subscriptions to the se=vice are available now. For more information, visit www.inputsmonitor.com.
