Pinion Risk Management, LLC and DairyVisor Incorporated, two dedicated consulting and risk management firms servicing the agriculture industry, announced they have merged advisory resources and services, effective January 1, 2026. This merger will further enhance the efficiency and risk management of dairy, feed, and grain operations – from strategic decision-making and commodity trading to livestock and margin management and revenue insurance.

“Pricing swings and input-cost inflation continue to challenge profitability for producers,” says CEO of Pinion Risk Management, Chris Haverkamp. “This merger furthers our goal of providing agricultural producers with a one-stop shop for proactive risk and marketing strategies, scenario planning, and insurance tools to protect margins and maintain stable cash flow.”

Founded in 1998, Pinion Risk Management (PRM) provides a personalized, proactive, and profit-focused service that helps producers mitigate risk in a volatile market and capitalize on profitable market moves. Services include breakeven analysis, profit summaries, annual grain or livestock merchandising plans, customized hedge reports, and more. PRM’s ag advisors achieve these objectives through extensive risk expertise, proactive consulting, effective planning and coordinating, and a relationship focus.

For twenty years, DairyVisor has assisted commodity producers and processors with market risk assessments, strategy development, and execution of trading positions. The firm utilizes proprietary market research and analysis to help clients make informed trading decisions. It also provides both futures and options brokerage as well as advisory on the selection of appropriate livestock margin and revenue insurance products, such as Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) and Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP).

“Helping dairy, livestock, grain and other markets thrive in volatile commodity markets is the shared mission of our firms,” says Joe Spader, partner with DairyVisor, Inc. “Our clients are likeminded as they seek ways to adapt to market volatility, seize growth, manage margins, accelerate sustainability goals, and mitigate risk. We are confident that our combined resources and complementary areas of expertise will help our clients solve the problems they face now and in the future.”
