Stop Guessing When to Sell.
Start Marketing Your Grain With a Plan.
Grain Basis shows you exactly what you need to net per bushel to cover your costs — and helps you build a marketing plan to get there. No complicated spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just clear numbers for your operation.
Most Farmers Sell on Emotion. The Best Ones Sell on a Plan.
The neighbor sold last Tuesday. The elevator is running a special. The market just dropped 30 cents and panic is setting in. Sound familiar?
Emotional selling is the single biggest reason grain farmers leave money on the table — not bad markets, not bad luck. It’s the absence of a plan that has a number attached to it.
Grain Basis gives you that number. And then it helps you build a plan around it.
Here’s What Grain Basis Does For Your Farm
- Calculates your real break-even — for your operation.
Not a national average. Not a USDA estimate. Your break-even, based on your land costs, your inputs, your yield history. This number is the foundation of every good marketing decision you’ll make.t - Shows you where basis fits into your net price.
The futures board gets all the attention. But local basis — the spread between what Chicago is trading and what your elevator is actually paying — often matters just as much. Grain Basis tracks your local basis so you know when the cash market is working for you. - Helps you build a marketing plan you’ll actually follow.
A plan doesn’t have to be complicated. It needs to answer three questions: How many bushels do I need to price before harvest? At what price levels do I pull the trigger? And how much do I leave open for a possible rally? Grain Basis walks you through all three. - Tracks everything in one place.
Forward contracts, cash sales, HTA contracts, storage — Grain Basis tracks your full position so you always know how much is priced, how much is open, and what your average net price looks like.
Built for Farmers. Not for Traders.
Grain Basis was designed by people who grew up farming.
No jargon. No 30-tab spreadsheets. No features you’ll never use.
Just the numbers that matter for your operation, in a format you can act on.
