CAS, Inc. operates in three main business areas:

• First, as Custom Ag Solutions, we work with Federal and state agencies on competitive-bid contracts, partnerships, and grants.  We have recently worked closely with the USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) to

  1. educate agricultural producers about risk management and crop insurance; and, 

  2. research and develop new risk management programs and tools that increase the financial stability of U.S. agricultural producers.

• Second, under our QuantJox name, we provide clients with technical services related to data collection, analysis, and reporting.  In short, we help clients better understand and leverage their operational data leading to better management decisions.  To do this, we employ sophisticated analytical methods and processes including multivariate regression, neural networks, and genetic algorithms.  We also develop web-based decision support applications for presenting analytical results in an easy-to-understand format.
