Two kinds of clients. One standard of service.

No two operations or portfolios are the same, so no two strategies have to be. We start with your situation and build from there.

For producers

Farmers, ranchers & agribusiness

Protect a price on grain or livestock before it leaves the field or the feedlot. We help you put a marketing plan around the risks you can’t control.

  • Hedging with futures and options on grains, oilseeds and livestock
  • Put and call strategies to set a floor or ceiling on price
  • USDA report and seasonal planning conversations
  • Coordination with your lender or marketing advisor
For traders

Speculators & active investors

Access the futures and options markets with a broker who picks up the phone. Trade with full-service support, or place orders yourself online.

  • Crude oil, gold, silver and platinum — standard and micro contracts
  • Grains, livestock, stock indexes, rates and currencies
  • Broker-assisted or self-directed online trading
  • Seminars on how the commodity markets work
