About Standard Grain
After spending years working for larger brokerage firms, Joe Vaclavik founded Standard Grain in 2012.

Standard Grain works with farm and livestock operations across the United States. Joe's Standard Grain Morning Update is sent to customers each morning and has become a favorite among farmers.
