A Letter from Our Founder, Andy Daniels

Dear Ag Community Member,

After growing up in Missouri surrounded by agriculture, I got started as a commercial grain merchandiser and then entered the futures and options arena in the late 80’s. I live and breathe these markets and have for decades. I trade them with my own money every day.

I know ags and the ag markets. And as you know very well, times are changing. These are not your father’s markets anymore, or even the markets of 10 years ago. What used to work then, often won’t work now. If he wants to prosper, or perhaps even survive, the 21st century farmer needs to evolve to be better at everything he has done before, plus he needs to have a few extra tricks up his sleeve to stay ahead.

I’ve been in the brokerage business for decades, and I wanted to build a separate, special group focused exclusively on helping farmers to prosper. The Daniels ag marketing team represents the best we have to offer the ag world. Our ag market consultants are hand-picked, and I am proud of how they help those in the agriculture community every day.

1. Listen First

Work with us and I am confident you’ll see our service principles in action. Daniels ag marketing offers an experience unlike all the others. We’ve spoken with virtually every side of the ag community and have heard the good stories and the bad. From this we’ve been able to determine what works and what doesn’t. With us, you’ll get the perfect mix of information, support, and trading expertise, while still having the flexibility to make the best decisions for you and your operation.

I personally welcome you on board and wish you a prosperous future.

Best Regards,
