Braden Nuest, Risk Advisor
Braden grew up on his family farm, where he developed a lifelong connection to agriculture and a deep appreciation for the hard work it takes to produce a crop or raise livestock. That hands-on experience gave him a strong foundation for understanding the challenges farmers face—not just in the field, but in the markets as well.
A proud Purdue University graduate, Braden combines his agricultural roots with a strong analytical background to help producers navigate today’s complex market environment. With just under five years of experience as a broker, he focuses on commodity hedging and risk management for farmers and ag businesses.
Braden’s approach is grounded in practical insight, straightforward communication, and a commitment to helping clients make confident, informed decisions. Whether it’s grains, livestock, or other markets, he’s dedicated to supporting producers so they can stay focused on what they do best—running their operations and growing their business.
