Grain contracting options for your convenience at 5,000 minimum bushel
increments:
| |
Cash (Spot) |
The producer will receive the spot price at the time of delivery. The producer can choose to receive payment for their grain immediately or they may defer the payment until a later date. |
| |
Basis |
Priced in two steps; the initial contract specifies
the bushel amount, the delivery period and the “basis” as it relates to
a particular futures option month. This contract allows the seller to
partially lock in a future delivery price. The part of the price which is
fixed is the basis. The futures price is to be set at a future date.
|
| |
Forward Contract |
Allows a producer to pick a price for their grain for
delivery in a future month. (i.e.: Price corn in July or August for delivery
at harvest.) |
If you intend to store or sell your grain, please call as far ahead as possible so we can
have storage space set aside. If you need help with trucking please let us know and we
will be happy to discuss options that are available.
We wish you much success in the upcoming harvest season and hope our services support
your needs. We look forward to hearing from you.
