Gregory K. Lohoefener - the founder of Market Data, Inc. (MDI) - has 6 years of ag lending , 22 years of ag consulting, 31 years of actual farming, and 24 years of grain elevator owner/management experience. This practical experience was drawn on to prepare a marketing service that allows for customization of marketing plans to individual users as well as localization of cash basis and price ratings. Over 2 years went into the development of a software that provides price ratings to alert users to GOOD and POOR price opportunities and the probability of price movement. The service was offered to the public starting March 1, 1997 and in the past 9 years we have been within 10% of the high futures price with our GOOD rating and 10% of the low futures prices with our POOR ratings - see the Ratings Review.  It is our goal to provide our customers with information and one-on-one assistance to allow them to take advantage of profitable price opportunities while using good risk management techniques. Our service includes utilizing all aspects of the Farm Bill including the counter-cyclical payments (CCP) provisions. Below is an example of our Quick Review Summary.
