Featuring Mike Zuzolo – Global Commodity Analytics
Mike Zuzolo, President & Founder of Global Commodity Analytics & Consulting LLC, will be the featured speaker on Thursday, September 10 at 6:15 p.m. at Lavender Crest Winery, 5401 US Highway 6, Colona. Dinner will be served, followed by the local grain market update from Tom Parchert of River Valley Cooperative. Reservations are required and must be made by September 3 to guarantee your attendance.
Having been an NFA Reg. Commodities Rep. since 1995, Mike’s independent analysis has become well-known in the commodity industry. His research spotlights the commodity sector as having both characteristics of an asset as well as a commodity with supply-demand fundamentals; this helps Mike develop a commodity analysis that strives to bridge the “Macro-“ & “Micro-“ divide of agriculture commodities being influenced both by investment flows as well as global supply-demand factors. This research helps guide his hedge recommendations with his clients & subscribers; it has also allowed Mike to develop in late 2025 an investment-related strategy involving Micro- Energy & Financial Futures.
Mike appears every Tuesday morning on RFD-TV, to share his analysis & commentary; he is also a regular guest on AOA with Jesse Allen & Susan Littlefield, as well as AgDay TV and This Week in Agribusiness. Mike has been the long-time Friday market analyst w/Todd Gleason for WILL-Media/Univ. of IL; he can also be heard on RRFN, KBUF, and WLDS frequently. In addition, he is the midday market commentator on the Rural Radio Network; he also works with many Ag Radio stations across the country. His comments are also seen in foreign media, including AFP & Japan News Service, along with most of the domestic newswires.
In 2024, Global Commodity Analytics & Consulting LLC celebrated its 15th year. Mike has resided in NE Kansas since 2012, with his wife & five children. He is a 1989 graduate of Miami Univ. of Ohio, w/a Political Science Degree, as well as minors in History & American Studies.
