Luke Swenson
VP of Trading Technology
Before joining Bushel, Luke graduated from North Dakota State University and headed directly into Risk Management and Hedging. After a short stint in Iowa running the trading desk for CommStock Investments, he came home to work at and eventually take over The Money Farm in Fargo, North Dakota. Luke has spent his entire career on the commercial and retail side of the grain trade; managing risk from farmers up to large commercial livestock and grain entities.
At Bushel, Luke has taken over development and the roadmap for building out their merchandising and contracting tools for farmers-commercials.
When not working he enjoys traveling with his family spending time exploring anywhere they get the opportunity to go.
