COMPANY

Commodity Brokers with Some Serious Ag Attitude

Our team includes people raised in multi-generational ag families, bringing firsthand experience from the field to the trading desk, bringing real-world operational experience to every client relationship. We aren't ag-curious financial people - we're ag people who became brokers because the industry needed them.

A Brokerage Comprised of 5th Generation Farmers and Ranchers

AgOptimus exists because most ag producers were being served by brokerage firms that didn’t understand agriculture. Our team has spent generations in grain and livestock – from the field to the trading desk. We built the firm we wished existed when we were on the producer side: ag-fluent brokers, modern technology, and a structure that doesn’t punish you for hedging.

Customer Testimonials

“I have used The Brokers at Ag Optimus for my risk management needs for the last 6 years. Between around the clock support, planning, and forward thinking they are where I hang my hat. The network of knowledge the firm has access to is a great advantage to its customers and partners.”

Rick S HedgerCattle

“I am fairly new to Optimus Futures. My broker, Ryan I think is one of the best in the business. His advice is spot on when it’s time to sell, I just need the discipline to do it. Need to do some research that are always available from Optimus to help in better trading. And he returns my calls promptly. Thanks Ryan!”

Marianne CBPrivate Client | Options on Futures

“Ag Optimus has a producer driven mindset all while balancing risk and fundamental trading. David & Nathan brings multiple options to the table to effectively manage my operations trades and risks.”

Brian BFarmer | Corn

“There are many reasons we enjoy working with Nathan and David, the biggest reasons for us though are the relationship and trust. I know every day they put our interest first, we are in it together, they take ownership in our operations.”
