DOUG HENSLEY  

Doug Hensley is a managing broker for The Loranda Group, Inc. in Illinois. Prior to joining The Loranda Group in 1998, Doug worked in a variety of agricultural fields including production agriculture, crop consultation, and farm management. In addition, Doug has demonstrated professional excellence through his association with John Deere Company and Agricultural Education & Consulting (AEC), a highly respected agribusiness consulting firm.

Doug was raised on a cash grain and livestock farm in western Illinois. His farm production experience and education make him particularly quick in understanding land and commodity markets. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a degree in Agricultural Economics and, later, a Master's in Business Administration.

While an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois, Doug was an active member in a variety of campus institutions including FarmHouse Fraternity, the Interfraternity Council, and was an active contributor to the College of ACES, formerly known as the College of Agriculture. As a graduate student, Doug continued to extend his College of ACES commitment by serving as a teaching assistant for an undergraduate agricultural finance class, as well as guest lecturing in a number of related agricultural courses. Doug is a former Doane Award winner, DeKalb Agricultural Achievement Award winner, and is a member of the Illinois Farm Bureau.

In providing value to The Loranda Group and its clients, Doug brings fresh skills and new ideas to the forefront. His experience presenting to groups of agribusiness professionals and college students on topics from agricultural finance to land economics has helped him develop a network of corporate contacts and academic colleagues, both of which supplement his small town roots.

A real estate broker and auctioneer marketing agricultural property across the Midwest, Doug is both respected and sought after for information in his field.
