Darren Frye

Darren grew up in Illinois agriculture, on an innovative farming enterprise that stretched from a poultry operation consisting of turkeys and layers to an orchard to a helicopter crop dusting business. He started his first agricultural business in 1987, specializing in fertilizer distribution and crop consulting. His genuine concern for the success of farmers propelled him to start his own consulting business in 1994. Today, Water Street Solutions helps farmers with the challenges they face in growing and improving their farms. Darren has traded commodities since 1982, and is a dynamic speaker and leader. He writes a blog, called Finance First, on FarmFutures.com and a column, Money Matters, in Illinois and Indiana AgriNews.
