It took nearly 20 years, and several stops around the country to bring Nathan back to his hometown in Indiana.

First, he would attain a degree in Quantitative Ag Economics from Purdue University. After an internship with Consolidated Grain and Barge he joined a full service farm marketing company helping producers manage their risks. His grain merchandising career would begin with an opportunity to merchandise corn on the export desk for Zen Noh Grain Corporation from their export facility located in the Port of New Orleans. Soon he would move to manager of futures hedging and proprietary trading positions for CGB, a sister company.

Two years later Nate would return to Zen-Noh Grain Corporation to manage the feed grain export programs for the company. This experience allowed Nathan to build contacts and relationships around the world. Throughout a decade with Zen Noh and CGB, Nathan experienced multiple large-risk and market-changing events, giving him an extensive background in risk and profit and loss management.

After leaving Zen Noh in 2016, Nathan joined JBS in Greeley, Colorado, the largest meat processor in the world and one of the largest consumers of U.S. corn and Meal. Nathan was tasked with leveraging market information from the JBS system as well as his career of physical grain trading experience to manage an allocated risk position in a hedge fund-type environment.

Two years later Nathan took a leap of faith purchasing a majority interest in his family's organic and non-gmo grain conditioning business, Langeland Farms, located in Greensburg, Indiana. After extensive expansion, the company is now a food grade processor for all types of grains and also a licensed Organic Food conditioner.

Nathan's diverse background in futures trading, physical grain trading, business development, risk management, and grain operations has been tied together with the advent of the Reding Hueber Ag Consulting company. The overall goal of our entire team is to bring our extensive knowledge and experience to our clients in a way that adds real value, stability, and profitability to their operations.
