MISSION

Morris Crop Marketing exists with the purpose of providing a personalized crop marketing service to row crop producers located in both the ARKANSAS and MISSISSIPPI Delta regions, and acts as the "Marketing Branch" of your farming operation. NO ONE knows for sure where the markets are going, but having the right tool(s) and plan in place and knowing where your marketing portfolio stands at all times can help prepare you to make those important marketing decisions when opportunities present themselves. Our crop marketing strategy strives to equally balance the strong need for risk management, while at the same time aiming to capture upside marketing opportunities as they are presented throughout the marketing year. Through this practice, we are able to stay focused on our main goal which is to keep your farming operation in business for not only you, but for many generations to come. 

PHILOSOPHY

Market information is everywhere, on our phones, computers, television and radio. Anyone can access this information, and if you listen to a few daily market reports, you hear basically the same thing. While still important and not to be ignored, this easily accessible information is broad in nature and lacks specific information which affects the price of your crops in your specific area. At Morris Crop Marketing, local information is at the core of our crop marketing philosophy. A few examples of "local information":


  •  General Basis movement
  •  On-Farm bids (FOB)
  •  "Quick ship" bids
  •  Basis roll opportunities


By keeping our focus specifically on the Arkansas and Mississippi Delta, we are able to keep an eye out for these opportunities, as they could at times have a very positive impact on your profitability. Morris Crop Marketing works with SOYBEAN, CORN, RICE and WHEAT farmers.

CASH SALES ORGANIZATION

FUTURES AND OPTIONS HEDGING

DIRECT CONTACT WITH BUYERS

A personalized operation spreadsheet will be set up and kept up to date so that your consultant and more importantly you, will know where your sales and prices relative to production stand at all times. This allows for a more efficient marketing plan that you and your consultant can follow together so that nothing is overlooked.

DIRECT CONTACT WITH BUYERS

FUTURES AND OPTIONS HEDGING

DIRECT CONTACT WITH BUYERS

Markets can move quickly and stopping to call buyers to execute a recommended sale can get in the way of other farming obligations. If the client chooses, Morris Crop Marketing, LLC will communicate directly with the buyer(s) to execute a sale at a mutually agreed upon quantity and price. POA is required for execution under the "fully managed" tier.

WHY HIRE MORRIS CROP MARKETING?

 FOCUSED ON THE DELTA

  • Morris Crop Marketing works specifically with row crop producers located in the Arkansas and Mississippi Delta. By doing this, we are able to keep a constant pulse on local markets. 


REASONABLE FEES

  • To put the full-service cost of $1.50/acre in perspective, lets use overall production of 250k bushels for a corn/soybean operation. Our maximum charge is $5,000.00 for any operation, which translates to only 2 CENTS PER BUSHEL. 


WE ACT AS YOUR FULL-TIME MARKETING "EMPLOYEE"

  • When you hire Morris Crop Marketing as your crop marketing consultant, you are essentially hiring a full-time employee to cover all aspects of your crop marketing. The only difference is that we don't have an office at your shop. 


WE KEEP YOUR SALES ORGANIZED

  • We believe that knowing where you stand with your marketing plan at all times is essential. A customized spreadsheet that tracks sales and percentages as it relates to estimated production will be kept up to date and e-mailed out monthly throughout the marketing year.  


EXTRA SET OF EYES AND EARS 

  • Farming is a business that requires the producer to wear many hats in order to be successful. From planting to growing to harvesting, there is very little time to constantly watch the markets that you rely on to make a living. Morris Crop Marketing has eyes and ears on the markets 24/7 in order to stay on top of important market moves that may provide marketing opportunities. 

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"I have been doing business with Trey since he started his company.  I would recommend him to anyone.  He gives me daily reports twice a day (early morning and after the close).  The main way he has improved my operation is by watching the daily basis at the Mississippi river.  The season gets busy and I do not have time to watch things like I should.  He makes his recommendations, we talk it over and he leaves the decision up to me – never pushy – he executes the order that we decide on.  I trust him to keep in touch and give me timely updates.  If I have a question, he is quick to respond with an answer.  Without a doubt Trey has added dollars to my bottom line every year. "


CLIENT FROM MONROE COUNTY, ARKANSAS/4 YEARS


“I had always marketed my own grain and always felt like I left money on the table by being too aggressive. The first year I let Trey market my grain, he made me enough money by reining me in and also aiming to manage risk, that he gained my trust for many more seasons.”


CLIENT FROM DESHA COUNTY, ARKANSAS / 3 YEARS

ABOUT

Trey Morris was born and raised in the Delta region of Arkansas and possesses 13+ years' experience in the grain industry. Trey began his career in the grain business working as a commodity broker and grain market analyst in Chicago before moving back home to work on the cash side of the grain business. His most recent professional role as a grain merchandiser allowed him to serve row crop producers in both the Arkansas and Mississippi Delta regions. In this role, Trey developed a great sense of how grain moved throughout the Delta and what outside factors led to certain price fluctuations and marketing challenges. Wanting to provide a crop marketing service with a local feel and presence, Trey formed Morris Crop Marketing, LLC. Trey utilizes both his commodity brokerage and cash grain experiences to help his clients navigate the cash grain markets. He believes that constant communication and understanding the specific needs of each producer's operation are the key elements to the success of marketing cash crops. 


Morris Crop Marketing is located in Oxford, Mississippi and is a short drive to many parts of the Delta areas that the company serves.  Trey lives in Oxford with his wife and daughter.
