Bullish, Bearish, or Broke : Insights with Tommy Grisafi

1 hour 51 minutes

In this episode, Farm4Profit sits down with Tommy Grisafi, founder of Ag Bull Trading and Ag Bull Media, a veteran commodity trader with more than three decades of experience navigating agricultural markets. Tommy shares the story of how a high school field trip to the Chicago Board of Trade sparked a lifelong passion for commodity trading and eventually led him to become a member of both the Chicago Board of Trade and CME.

The conversation explores the realities of grain marketing and why it often proves more difficult than growing the crop itself. Tommy dives into the emotions that drive decision-making—greed, hope, ego, and fear—and explains how these factors can quietly cost farmers more than any market downturn.

Topics include:

Tommy's journey from the CBOT trading floor to Ag Bull Trading

How commodity markets have evolved over the past 30 years

Whether today's flood of information helps or hurts decision-making

How producers can identify trustworthy market advisors

Why risk management matters more than ever

The traits shared by successful grain marketers

Common habits that hold producers back

Why profitable opportunities are often missed

Market outlooks for corn, soybeans, wheat, fertilizer, fuel, and interest rates

What younger farmers should focus on as they build their operations

The importance of discipline and consistency in marketing plans

Tommy also shares stories from some of the most volatile periods in agricultural markets and discusses the lessons he's learned from both winning and losing trades. Whether you're marketing old crop grain, planning for next year, or simply trying to make better decisions in an uncertain environment, this episode offers valuable insights from someone who has spent a lifetime studying market behavior.
