Making the Most of the Market

“At Top Third, we’re “Farmer First” with a plan for every market. Each day is a new opportunity to better market your grain, manage risk and capture opportunity.”

Mark Gold, Founder, Top Third Ag Marketing

Our primary goal is to make the most of what the market gives us on any given day. By using cash sales, calls and puts, we objectively steer your marketing based on the unique needs of your operation.

When working with Top Third, you can focus on your operation. We watch the market for you. Every day we’ll monitor market fluctuations to capitalize on any available opportunities. With us, you can leverage timely cash sales while managing both sides of the market.

Top Third “Gold Standard” Program

Our Top Third “Gold Standard” Program was designed by Mark Gold and remains the firm’s benchmark for managing risk. Long-only options avoid margin calls and allow the farmer to lock in a floor, while still keeping the upside open. It is a marketing plan that seeks to protect the farmer while still allowing them to focus on what they do best – run their operation.

Top Third Gold Standard is for you if you:

  • Are new to options trading
  • Want to avoid margin calls
  • Prefer to follow the marketing suggestions of Mark Gold & Top Third exclusively
