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.
