Alex Gokey

I’m a results-driven grain merchandising professional with hands-on experience in commodity origination, trading, and multi-modal logistics. My career has been built on forging strong, trust-based relationships with producers, co-ops, processors, and end users—helping align market opportunities with client needs. From managing complex rail, truck, and barge operations to leveraging futures spreads, arbitrage, and options strategies, I thrive on turning market data into profitable decisions. My work has spanned regional and export markets, from the Mississippi River to the Southern Texas–Mexico corridor, always focused on improving throughput, market share, and customer retention. Graduating with two B.S. degrees in Agricultural Business and Economics from Iowa State University, I bring not only technical skills in market analysis, negotiation, and risk management but also a passion for building lasting partnerships that drive growth in the agricultural sector.
