Top Third Mission

Top Third’s mission is to help North American farmers manage the risks associated with producing agricultural products. Whether grains, livestock, milk, cotton or energies, Top Third is prepared to work with you to develop a marketing plan that addresses your individual risk.

Our Top Third Goal

Top Third’s goal is to help you market your products in the “top third” of prices that were available to you during the marketing year. Our name is our goal…and yours! We will look for opportunities in:

  • Making timely cash sales
  • Buying fair-valued protection options
  • Making basis trades
  • Crop insurance

Top Third on Risk

The bedrock principles of my risk management program are:
  1. NO SPECULATING
  2. N0 MARGIN CALLS, when purchasing options
  3. Managing risk while maximizing marketing opportunities

Using my 30 years of experience as a professional trader and risk manager, I will help you determine which option can best help you manage risk. In addition, we will determine price levels for you to sell cash grain to take advantage of rallies in the cash market. We will help you stay focused and disciplined to minimize the emotional feelings that can cloud risk management decisions.

Top Third’s Foundation – A Tradition of Trust

If you have made the decision that you need help doing a better job of marketing, the question then becomes, WHO DO YOU TRUST TO HELP YOU?

I have earned the trust & respect of the American farmer.

These are the folks who trust my experience:

  • Thousands of North American farm producers
  • American Bankers Association, Ag Lenders Division
  • Grain Elevators, Coops and rural Banks across the country
  • U.S. Farm Report
  • Market to Market/Iowa Public TV
  • Commodity Classic
  • AgDay TV
  • KFRM Radio
  • KRVN Radio
  • WTAD Radio

We look forward to earning your trust.
