Brent Gloy teaches and conducts research in the areas of agricultural finance and agribusiness management. Dr. Gloy’s research examines the linkages between management and the financial performance of agribusiness firms. His research also examines how factors in the external economic environment, including public policy, impact the profitability of agribusiness and agricultural finance firms.

Dr. Gloy teaches an undergraduate course in Agribusiness Strategy and a graduate course in Agricultural Finance. He has taken a leadership role in several activities designed to help undergraduates observe how classroom principles are implemented by agricultural businesses. He co-teaches a two-week international field study that allows students to gain exposure to the food and agribusiness systems in foreign countries. In the past three years, groups have traveled to Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, and Australia. He has also participated in farm management study trips to California, Florida, and Georgia and has been actively involved with the Farm Credit Fellows program.

In addition to his activities at Cornell, Brent remains involved in the family farming operation located in southwestern Nebraska.
