Preparation is Key.

Harvest season is nearly here, and now is the time to get prepared. Whether you’re managing grain contracts or reviewing your records, having the right tools in place can make a big difference. Two key resources to help you stay organized and efficient this season are our member login and a solid understanding of your contracting options.

Contracting Options
Today’s commodity markets are unpredictable, but with that volatility comes opportunity. Rising costs and shifting prices can be challenging, but the right grain marketing strategy helps manage risk and improve returns.

Your local cooperative grain team offers a variety of contract options; Fixed Price, Basis, Futures/Cash, Price Later, and Minimum Price, plus the ability to place offers for future pricing. Reach out to your local grain office to find the best fit for your operation.

Harvest is a busy time, but with the right tools and support, it can also be one of the most rewarding. Let’s make this season a successful one.

After surgery and under x-ray, my ankle resembles the hardware section of the Do It Best Center.
