Roy L. Huckabay Jr.

With 25 years of experience at the Linn Group, Roy L. Huckabay, Jr. is a principle of the firm and part of the management team, overseeing much of the company's day to day operations. He is the Director of Market Research for all of the Linn Group's commodity sectors, authoring the daily grain fundamental wires.

After an extended tour of duty with the U.S. Air Force, Roy worked with the Andersons in Maumee, Ohio, managing their grain-buying office and gaining vital experience in basis and cash grain trade. A member of the CBOT for over 10 years, Roy has handled all types of orders on the CBOT grain floor, although he now finds it more comfortable to juggle two phones at once in an office away from the floor.

Roy's trade is concentrated in commercial hedge operations for exporters and feed manufacturers. He also provides consultations on farmer marketing while continuing to focus on risk control and option pricing alternatives within the Linn Group consulting team. Roy resides at "Huck's Landing" in a Northwest Chicago suburb located on the Fox River, where he enjoys boating, hunting, and spending time with his grandchildren.
