Iowa is number one in the nation for both corn and hogs, second in soybeans, and a top-five cattle-feeding state. That scale cuts both ways: a few cents per bushel or a feed-cost swing, multiplied across an Iowa-sized operation, is serious money. The crop and the livestock are the easy part for most producers. The harder part is marketing the grain on a plan and keeping livestock margins protected through a volatile year.
That is the whole job we do. With two Iowa offices, in Mechanicsville to the east and Sheldon in the northwest, we bring local market knowledge and stay in it with you all season, not a hotline that calls once and disappears.

We have two Iowa offices: 201 South Monroe St in Mechanicsville in eastern Iowa, and 101 N Runger St, Suite E in Sheldon in northwest Iowa. Both serve grain and livestock producers across their regions.
Iowa is the nation's number one corn state and second in soybeans, so a few cents per bushel across a whole crop is real money. A marketing plan using cash, futures, and options protects price and captures rallies instead of selling at the elevator's timing.
Iowa raises more hogs than any other state. LGM for swine protects the gross margin between hog value and feed cost in one federally subsidized policy, covering both a drop in hog prices and a spike in feed costs.
