About Us

Roach Ag. Marketing is an independent, full-service brokerage and commodity advisory firm founded in 1978. Roach Ag. spent its first 21 years in Perry, Iowa, before moving headquarters to beautiful Boca Raton, Florida. In addition, we have 5 offices located across the Corn Belt to better serve our clients and provide intelligence to the home office about crop and livestock fundamentals throughout the United States. 

We continually work to improve our broker training and methods of soliciting new customers. We have been successful training new college grads and experienced brokers in our methods. We have helped both groups build sizable books of business. In 2021 we doubled our space at our company headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida and at our branch office in Woodridge, Illinois. Let us move you to beautiful, sunny South Florida to grow a business with Midwestern customers and leave the cold winters behind! Or if you prefer the Midwest, you can wear your winter coat and enjoy friendly Midwestern hospitality. Both locations offer a wealth of recreation and entertainment activities, and excellent school districts.

We have 30 series III brokers and specialize in corn, soybeans, wheat, cattle, and hog futures as well as agriculture commodity options and we continue to hire the very best people to work for us.
