Marketing Alternatives

Cash Sale (Spot)

Sell your grain at our posted price at the time of delivery.

Forward Contract

Price your grain now for future delivery (up to 3 years)  Payment is made upon delivery of grain.

Deferred Payment

Sell and deliver grain but receive payment at a later date.

Minimum Price

Sell your grain at a set price but still have the opportunity to make more if grain futures move higher.  This alternative is a great way to eliminate downside price risk while waiting for the chance of higher prices.  There are two parts to a Minimum Price Contract; the "floor" and the "more".  At the time the contract is executed, you sell your grain at our posted price less a fee (known as price insurance).  This is your floor price, or guaranteed minimum price.  You have no further risk of lower prices and you get paid your Minimum Price at delivery.  The second part of the contract enables you to make more on the sale of your grain if futures prices move higher within a designated period of time.

Target Price Order
