About AgChieve

AgChieve Grain Marketing Advisory » About

Trustworthy advice for more than 20 years

Our Story

The AgChieve corporation was founded in January 2002, becoming one of the first professional grain marketing advisory firms in Western Canada. At the time, critics insisted that farmers would be skeptical of paid marketing advice, but hundreds of producers soon proved them wrong. AgChieve found a niche in providing trustworthy, unbiased recommendations – and we continue to lead the field in charting expertise and technical analysis.

Why Choose AgChieve?

Experience

Expertise

A Track Record of Success

Many producers get caught selling into the lows of the market rather than the highs. We help farmers understand the intricacies of the market, enabling them to make calculated, informed decisions. Our AgChieve team continually analyzes cash and futures charts and data on more than 20 commodities and we alert farmers via text, email, fax, mail, or our Resource Centre when action is recommended. It’s a know-how we’ve honed through decades of experience in commodities brokerage, financial advising, and terminal management. We relate to producers and are invested in helping them succeed.
“We only have to speak with AgChieve once to more than recoup the cost of their service.”
– Jeff Kunz

“I don’t have time to keep track of the charts and technical analysis, I appreciate that you do, makes marketing simple for me.”
– Les Dueck
