Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Effective December 19, 2018, Teucrium Trading, LLC, the Sponsor of the Teucrium Commodity Trust, has elected to reduce the expense ratio for the Teucrium Agricultural Fund (“TAGS” or the “Fund”) from 0.48% to 0.19%. To achieve this reduction, the Sponsor will increase the amount of fees and expenses that it pays (or waives reimbursement for) on behalf of the Fund. The Sponsor plans to continue to pay fees and expenses (or waive reimbursement for such fees and expenses) in an amount necessary for the expense ratio to remain at 0.19%, although as discussed in the prospectus for the Fund, the Sponsor retains the discretion to change the amount of fees and expenses that it pays (or waives reimbursement for) at any time.

The reduction in the expense ratio from 0.48% to 0.19% is not expected to materially change the expense ratio disclosed in the prospectus, because that expense ratio was calculated based on estimated expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
