Todd Hultman is a DTN grain market analyst, and has worked in the commodity futures industry since 1985.
Todd began his career as a broker with Delta Futures Group in Omaha, where he relied on DTN's news and market quotes. In 1997, he left the brokerage business with a desire to spend more time researching the futures markets and educating others.
