Laura J. Faubion

I am the granddaughter of second generation farmers and, even though my parents choose to leave the farming community, it has always been apart of my life. I am a college graduate with a Master in Fine Arts and have dedicated the last thirteen years to the development of Bob's electronic and print publications.

During the last four years I have assisted Bob with his managed grain accounts. It has given me the opportunity to learn about the technical and fundamental aspects of the grain market. After many years of assisting the brokers in our office, last year I decided to join their ranks and am now developing our "discount of brokerage by clerk" service. It will compliment the full service brokerage that is already available by allowing clients to implement our recommendations via electronic subscription or their marketing strategies by our "discount brokerage by clerk" service [to begin in February].

I am also responsible for the editing and management of our website [www.utterbackmarketing.com]. Updated daily with morning and afternoon market comments and news, as well as Bob's recommendations regarding corn, soybeans and wheat three days a week.

I continue to strive to compliment, enhance, and implement the strategies and services Bob has developed. It is a working relationship built on mutual respect with the understanding that developing marketing alternatives to enhance the bottom line of our clients through conservative and aggressive strategies while concentrating on risk management using cash, options, and futures contracts is a cooperative effort.

Our clients are very important to our firm, and I will do my best to assist them in improving their marketing experience.
