What Co-op Merchandisers Are Saying

"We've been paying DTN $800/month for years. Half the data GrainBrief shows comes from USDA anyway — I didn't know anyone had packaged it this cleanly for free. This is a no-brainer for smaller co-ops."

— Grain Merchandiser, Iowa Corn Belt Co-op (pilot user)

"The prepay tracker alone is worth the subscription. We had three contracts where our cash bid was within 8 cents of our prepay level. I wouldn't have caught that without a side-by-side view."

— General Manager, Multi-location Illinois co-op (beta)

"My members were getting DTN price alerts on their phones and coming in with data I didn't have. Now I send them the GrainBrief weekly PDF on Monday morning and I'm the one ahead of the conversation."

— Country elevator manager, Nebraska (beta)

Common Co-op Questions

Where does the grain price data come from?

All cash bid data comes from USDA AMS (Agricultural Marketing Service) via their MARS API — the same underlying data that DTN, Barchart, and Progressive Farmer pay for and repackage. We pull daily reports for 11 states covering Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, Kansas, South Dakota, and North Dakota. All market signals come from CFTC, USDA FAS, USDA FGIS, EIA, NOAA, and FRED — all free government sources.

Can we use our own logo and colors on member reports?

Yes — the Enterprise plan includes full white-labeling of PDF member reports. Upload your co-op logo, set your primary color, and add your contact information and elevator addresses. Members see your brand, not ours. The PDF header, footer, and cover page are all customizable.

How does the API access work?

The Enterprise plan includes REST API access with up to 1,000 calls per day. Endpoints are documented and return JSON. Common use cases: pulling current cash bids into your grain management software, triggering alerts in your internal system when basis moves past a threshold, or displaying GrainBrief data on your co-op website's member portal. API credentials are provisioned within 24 hours of signup.

Is there a contract or cancellation fee?

No contracts. Cancel any month — no penalties, no fees. We earn your business by delivering value every week, not by locking you in. If the platform isn't making your merchandising team more effective, you shouldn't pay for it.

What states and commodities are supported?

Cash bid data covers 11 states: Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, Kansas, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Commodities: corn, soybeans, winter wheat, spring wheat, grain sorghum, oats, and barley. Market signal data (COT, exports, crush margins, drought) is national. We're adding more states in Q3 2026 based on co-op demand.
