As a commodity Merchandiser located at a grain handling facility I have had experience in buying wheat, sorghum, corn and soybeans. My previous location was at a shuttle train loading facility in Downs, KS executing on Union Pacific rail. Experienced with trucking logistics and managing a cross country deck of 10+ trucks. Trained in grain handling operations as well as cross-country commodity merchandising.After my time in Downs, KS I took on a role as a mill buyer role for a major flour milling company (Miller Milling Company), acting as a Scoular "ex-tern". I managed procurement of spring wheat, winter wheat and malted barley. In this position I managed basis positions, rail and truck logistics, quality, and arbitrage opportunities and became familiar with KC and MGEX spot markets as well as local truck markets.Today I manage the day-to-day operations of the U.S. Domestic spring wheat desk in Minneapolis, MN. I manage relationships, basis positions, truck and rail logistics, and a seat on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. I buy and sell spring wheat via truck, single rail, unit trains and shuttles, moving from MN and the Dakota's to the US Milling market as well as for export.
