Cash Grain Intelligence

The Grain Hedge Optimizer gives farmers a powerful tool that can help improve their marketing by 10-20 cents in the Cash Market!

GRAIN HEDGE OPTIMIZER

The Grain Hedge Optimizer is a premium product with one goal--to find farmers additional money. Every day our committed team of data operators collects over 48,000 spot and forward cash market bids from elevators and grain buyers all over the country. Over 3,800 markets are covered every single day, which gives subscribers access to the most accurate and in-depth cash market data available. We capture bids from elevators, ethanol producers, crushing plants, mills, feed operations, and other high-volume grain buyers. Our data has a broad coverage, and even producers outside of the Midwest will be able to find cash bids near their farm.

To get started, simply input your farm location, production values, trucking, and storage cost and we will find the optimal market location and the best delivery month for you to sell your cash grain. Historically, the Grain Hedge Optimizer has found farmers an extra 10 to 20 cents per bushel compared to their closest elevator even after taking shipping and storage costs into account. To put that in perspective, for the typical farmer who planted 2,000 acres of corn and harvested a 160 bushel yield, that extra 10 cents translates into $32,000!

The Grain Hedge Optimizer is the most powerful cash marketing tool available to farmers. Users can quickly navigate through cash grain prices and basis levels to find the precise answer they are looking for. Not only does it cross-reference shipping costs (calculated according to driving miles) with every bid in the area, it also accounts for storage costs, which allows you to find the best time and place to set a contract. Market prices can easily be sorted by net returns or by distance from the farm. When market opportunities are spotted, the user can easily view the buyer’s contact information and start negotiating a grain sale.

Key features of the Grain Hedge Optimizer tools:
  • Identifies the best local markets based on prices, storage and trucking costs.
  • Data can be filtered by commodity, hauling rate, and storage rate.
  • Results can be displayed by net returns, or by driving distance from the farm.
  • View spot bids and forward contract prices up to 12 months out.
  • Charting and mapping of local spot and forward basis.
  • Net returns over trucking costs are generally 10 to 20 cents a bushel.
