prices texted from Viterra or not!

Most companies post prices on websites. Some public. Some password protected. Lots send out texts with daily prices. Are they just bids or transacted prices? I guess depends.

PDQinfo is working on a process of collecting and posting prices. Stay tuned.

Still your job to stay informed about prices. Even to the point of being prepared to counter/offer grain for a price. I will sell for $X. You (grain company) have to the end of the day to respond. A good way to capture better in fast moving volatile markets and lock in better basis

we do all of that. the relationship with the grain buyer is paramount. Having targets is key and in many cases gives the CSR the ammo to get that price from the merchant if they are looking for product. My beef is with Viterra in that for some unfathomable reason they choose not to allow their CSR's the ability to send out prices via text or email if there is some deal. i find in today's marketing reality that the relationship we have with the large grainco and the special crop processors really can make things easier and more profitable. Alot of people have a very jaded opinion of most grain buyers. I find there is lots of good ones out there as lots of duds too. The supply of good buyers unfortunately cant fill the demand.
