Business Strategy

Benchmark Ag’s objectives are to provide a low risk investment for local investors: in producing HBPSM^TM feed for dairy cattle; and producing soybean oil. We expect to become the supplier of choice in Minnesota and Wisconsin, providing the highest quality formulation of HBPSM^TM and soybean oil attainable, with environmentally sound production technology. Our operating principles are based on environmental stewardship and profitability. The key elements of our strategy include:

1. Establish production facilities in Minnesota, aligning closely with local soybean growers and elevators.
2. Establish a distribution network of Midwest soybean oil HBPSM^TM distributors.
3. Reduce risks by building small-scale facilities and grow gradually into larger operations. Smaller operations require less money, less risk, and attract higher local investment potential.
4. Feedstock represents the largest production expense for soybean oil and animal feed. Risk management strategies have been developed to offset the risk of fluctuating markets and to minimize our feedstock costs.
5. Benchmark Ag is minimizing transportation costs for soybean shippers and HBPSM^TM users by locating in Cannon Falls.
