Work History

Grain Merchandiser

Bruce Oakley Inc.
North Little Rock, AR
10.2010 - Current

I contacted and built a customer base of farmers/customers for both delivery of their grain to our North Little Rock facility and for FOB pickup of corn and soybeans from their bins.

It was my responsibility to buy the farmers grain and report it to our merchandising desk to be hedged.

I initiated, composed and sent a twice daily market text to a customer base. the text was a morning (Oakley Grain AM) message that outlined newsworthy and market moving news from after the previous days close, during the night and early morning. I also gave an up to the moment market price at the time the text was sent. I sent another text after the markets had closed with market news, reports of the day and market closes as well as what Oakley Grain delivered grain prices were that day.
