Grain Application at the scale: Our new grain software requires that the disposition of the grain is entered correctly, at the Scale, when the grain is delivered. All drivers delivering grain will need to know the following information: Grain owner(s), Grain Share Splits, Grain disposition (Cash, Warehouse Storage, Feed Bank, Delayed Price Agreement).
Deferred Payment Contracts will be available for both corn and soybeans. Grain committed to deferred payment cannot be changed. Verbal deferred payment instructions are also irrevocable.
Grain will be priced based on its actual delivery point on the date of sale.

Off grade corn containing high Damage and high Foreign Material cannot be deposited into Feed Bank account. Feed bank grain not processed for feed will be subject to regular storage charges and a $.25 per bushel penalty.

Grain Donation Policy
If you want to donate grain to a church, FFA, school, other charitable organization, employee etc. please deliver the grain in their name at the time of delivery.
If grain is delivered in your name and you later would like to donate there are two options:
- Grain applied to any disposition will stay in the producer’s name and the check will be made payable to the person or organization specified.
- This grain will reflect on the producer’s proof of yield and as income on their 1099’s.
- Please keep a copy of the settlement to provide to your tax professional.
- Grain applied to Open Storage can be transferred to the person or organization specified. Only open storage can be transferred as the producer still has ownership of that grain. Grain applied to delayed price, contract or cash cannot be transferred.
- The storage charges will be charged to the producer prior to the transfer.
- You are transferring ownership and therefore the donating producer cannot price the grain. The grain will be transferred from Open Storage to Open Storage and the new owner will begin storage charges on the day the ownership is transferred.
