OMAHA, NEBRASKA, US — Scoular has launched a new program that provides producers more contract options and greater flexibility in marketing their grain. 

Latitude Marketing Services (LMS), announced Dec. 4 by the company, is a customizable set of tools designed to help producers diversify their marketing strategies. 

Scoular said the benefits LMS provides to producers include: expanding Scoular’s contract offerings to include options and over-the-counter products; offering diversification of pricing strategies; involving producers in the marketing plan throughout the year; and offering greater peace of mind by providing more ways to mitigate risks.
