Streamline Your Agricultural Services With Nagel Group

Chad Nagel, The Farm CFO

Nagel Group exists to bring integrated financial solutions to farmers who want to replace anxiety with confidence. Since 1946, three generations of Nagels have served the farmers of Delmarva. Today, Chad and his team continue that tradition, coordinating crop and P&C insurance with commodity brokerage and wealth management.

Chad was raised on a livestock and grain farm in Caroline County, where he started working at a young age alongside his siblings. He has watched the commodity markets since he was seven. In his early 20s, he worked the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, which solidified his desire to spend his life trading futures and options. For more than 25 years, Chad has bought and sold cash grain in domestic and international markets, giving him a firm grasp of basis trends and effective hedging strategies.

Chad and his wife, Stephanie, have been married for 27 years and raised their three children in the family business, the same way Chad was raised. Working alongside his children in agriculture gave him the chance to model putting his faith into practice in everyday work. For each generation of Nagels, serving customers and employees has been an outward expression of the biblical principle of putting others ahead of yourself. Through the unpredictable seasons that come with agriculture, faith in God’s provision has been a constant true north.

Being born into an agricultural family and working in the farm community is one of life’s greatest blessings. This industry is the backbone of America, made up of hardworking people who produce healthy, abundant food for families around the world. Chad’s passion is to preserve this way of life by offering financial advisory services that create generational wealth and enable customers to Farm Fearlessly.

“I started Nagel Group because farmers deserve the kind of integrated financial thinking that big operations take for granted. That’s what Farm Fearlessly means to me. Not recklessness, but clarity. When you know your numbers, know your risks, and have a team that sees the whole picture, you can make decisions with confidence.”

frequently asked questions

Answers to Your Biggest Questions

A few things farmers ask before we sit down together.
What is agricultural finance and insurance?
Agricultural finance and insurance covers the money side of running a farm: protecting the operation with crop and farm insurance, marketing commodities, and managing wealth and succession. Nagel Group coordinates all of it under one team, so decisions in one area account for the others instead of being made in isolation.
What does Nagel Group offer?
Nagel Group offers complete farm insurance to include crop insurance as well as property and liability coverage. We are a unique crop insurance agency that is well equipped to work with you on crop budgets and financial planning as well as grain marketing and commodity brokerage.
Does Nagel Group offer agricultural services near me?
Nagel group serves farms in nearly a dozen states across the U.S. in the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Mid-West. Call our team to see how we can serve you.
What does a crop insurance agency do?
A crop insurance agency helps farmers choose and manage coverage that protects against crop loss from weather, disease, and price swings. Nagel Group goes further by coordinating that coverage with your marketing positions and financial plan, so your insurance is not blind to the rest of your operation.

A farmer’s crop insurance policy is at the core of his risk management plan and is a dynamic tool to be managed throughout the growing season. At Nagel Group we use your policy, proactively to improve your financial position, not as your last line of defense like most agencies.

How is Nagel Group different from a regular insurance agent or financial advisor?
Nagel Group consists of an experienced team of professionals who have traded commodity markets, raised capital and managed agricultural risks of all types for many decades. Nagel Group puts insurance, commodity marketing, and wealth management on one coordinated team that shares a single view of your operation, so nothing important falls through the gaps between providers.
How long has Nagel Group been in business?
Farmers on the Delmarva Peninsula have trusted the Nagel family since 1946. Three generations later, the grain business that built the Nagel name has grown into a fully integrated financial services partner for multi-generational farming families.
