“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Growers Edge (www.growersedge.com) offers a free cash bid service for farmers to locate the best net cash grain prices within 100 miles of their farms.

Based on a grower’s location, the Growers Edge program calculates the best net bid after trucking and storage costs are deducted. By comparing their local elevator price with all surrounding elevators, ethanol plants and grain terminals, users of this free service report making 20 to 40 cents more per bushel by shopping for the best market price.

“Our farmer-users asked for a way to find the best net local bid for their crops,” said Craig Mouchka, president of Growers Edge. “Farmers normally check three or four of their closest markets and they can easily miss their best cash price.

We are finding that 70 percent of the time for soybeans and 90 percent of the time for corn, that the net cash bid found by growers-edge.com is better to what is being offered by the closest market.

Plus the results come right to the farmers computer screen without making any calls.”

Gary Schmalshof of Macomb, Ill., said, “I discovered that we could haul corn 100 miles to Decatur and get an extra 70 cents a bushel — we made an additional 30 cents a bushel after
