Ag Industry Consulting Firms Pinion and Atten Babler Join Forces

Two agriculture industry consulting and risk management firms — Pinion Risk Management and Atten Babler Risk Management — have announced the merger of their advisory resources and services.
Pinion Risk Management, LLC and Atten Babler Risk Management, LLC, two leading consulting and risk management firms to the agriculture industry, announced they have merged advisory resources and services. This strategic merger, effective April 1 and reported in a statement released by Pinion, will further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness in addressing the challenging needs of agricultural client operations in the U.S. and abroad.

“Farming is a risky business. With changing policies, market risks, and geopolitical dynamics, it’s increasingly important to help producers manage farm risks, profitability, and cash flow,” says CEO of Pinion Risk Management, Chris Haverkamp. “This merger furthers our goal of providing agricultural producers a one-stop solution by offering a range of comprehensive services from a dedicated advisory firm that they trust.”

Video: California Farm Bureau 2025 Farm Dog of the Year Contest Winner - Willy - CAFB 107th Annual Meeting

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
