Silveus Financial

What Silveus Financial does

Silveus Financial, doing business as Silveus Financial and legally organized as C & H Advisors LLC, is a U.S. financial advisory firm specializing in agricultural risk management for grain and row-crop producers. The company, headquartered at 103 Enterprise Drive, Warsaw, Indiana, serves a distributed base of mid-sized and small family farms across at least ten U.S. states including Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Arkansas, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, Texas, and Maryland. Its core offer is the integration of crop insurance, government farm programs, and commodity hedging into a single income-protection strategy rather than the typical siloed approach used by crop insurance agents or standalone futures brokers.

The firm's central technology is MatrixLZ, a proprietary farm income profit matrix described as the most sophisticated income-projection tool of its kind. MatrixLZ serves as an advisor-facing decision platform that factors on-farm variables (yields, input costs, equipment spend, debt structure, land management, living requirements) alongside market variables (commodity futures, geopolitical events, supply/demand projections, government interventions) into a unified profit/loss view. Silveus advisors work with farm clients through this platform to remove emotion from marketing and hedging decisions during the growing season. The firm also operates as an Introducing Broker for R.J. O'Brien, with all advisors Series 3 licensed, enabling it to both recommend and execute commodity futures and options hedges.

Silveus generates revenue from four streams: (1) annual retainer fees for risk advisory subscriptions giving clients a dedicated advisor plus platform access; (2) brokerage commissions on commodity futures and options executed through R.J. O'Brien; (3) fees on over-the-counter hedging arrangements with third-party risk management providers; and (4) project-based professional services for one-off needs such as government program analysis or independent financing reviews. The go-to-market model is sales-led, relying on direct advisor relationships, toll-free phone inquiry, and the website as the primary acquisition surface. Leadership centers on co-owner Derrik Hobbs and a small team of named advisors (Derrik, Noah, Bryce referenced in client testimonials). The firm is private, has no public funding rounds or parent company, and is structured as a closely-held LLC.

Broad incumbents

• R.J. O'Brien: R.J. O'Brien is one of the largest independent U.S. futures brokerages; while it is Silveus's introducing broker partner, it also competes in agricultural clearing, execution, and advisory-adjacent services at a much larger institutional scale.
• GROWMARK: GROWMARK is a large U.S. agricultural cooperative providing inputs, grain marketing, and risk management services to farmer-members; its scale and direct farmer relationships make it a broad incumbent competitor to Silveus's niche advisory offering.
• ADM Investor Services: ADM Investor Services, the brokerage arm of Archer Daniels Midland, offers institutional futures execution, clearing, and hedging services for commercial ag hedgers; it overlaps with Silveus's commodity brokerage offering from a broad incumbent position.

Direct peers

• Ag Resource Management: Ag Resource Management provides commodity marketing, hedging, and crop insurance advisory to U.S. farmers via a dedicated advisor model, closely comparable to Silveus's retainer-plus-brokerage structure.
• Stewart-Peterson: Stewart-Peterson (Total Farm Marketing) provides farm-level commodity marketing and risk management advisory for grain producers, with subscription retainer and brokerage offerings that directly mirror Silveus's integrated advisory-plus-execution model.
• White Commercial Corporation: White Commercial Corporation is an introducing broker offering commodity hedging, advisory, and crop insurance services to agricultural producers, overlapping with Silveus on the integrated crop insurance/program/hedge advisor proposition.
• John Stewart & Associates (JSA): John Stewart & Associates is a futures introducing broker and agricultural risk management advisory that delivers integrated crop insurance, government program, and hedging advice to grain producers.
• Producers Hedge: Producers Hedge provides commodity hedging and grain marketing advisory to agricultural producers, competing in the same dedicated-advisor, retainer-style offering space as Silveus Financial.
• Bailie Resource Management: Bailie Resource Management offers grain marketing and commodity risk advisory to farmers, including futures and options execution, with a similar segmented, advisor-led GTM motion targeting mid-sized grain operations.

Emerging players

• Edge Grain Marketing: Edge Grain Marketing is a smaller, niche-oriented commodity marketing advisor for producers; it overlaps with Silveus's grain marketing advisory but at a smaller geographic and client scale.
