Leawood, Kansas (PRWEB) September 19, 2014 -- Agspring, a leading manager of agricultural supply chains for grains and oilseeds, today announced that it has selected INTL FCStone Inc. as a key resource partner to provide comprehensive world-class risk management services for all Agspring operations.
Agspring maintains decentralized operations, relying on subsidiaries and local operating companies to know their growers and geographies while seeking broader merchandising opportunities with increasingly national and global trade flows.

Additionally, Agspring subsidiaries such as Big River Rice & Grain and Thresher Artisan Wheat will be able to facilitate growers directly interfacing with INTL FCStone experts to provide timely counsel about market dynamics and wider market implications.
