Max Armstrong shares insight on the true role of a market adviser
Max Armstrong digs into a question posed by a commodity trader who asks some interesting questions about market advisers.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
