Purchase and Quote Comparisons

Founding Co-op adds the Starter purchase workflow. Compare your recorded input quotes or purchases with the available reference context; no projected savings are guaranteed.

  • Check unit, source date, and region before comparing
  • Purchase-based PDF scorecards need quote or purchase data

  • U.S. and Western Canada coverage with source-health labels
  • Basis vs. futures overlay (CBOT Dec, Nov, Jul)
  • 30-day basis trend chart by commodity
  • Export terminal vs. interior basis spread

  • Contribute a local quote through What's Your Bid
  • Confirm grade, delivery, currency, and contract terms with the buyer

Larger-Team Fit Review

Talk with us about team size, locations, exports, or partner integrations. Those needs are scoped separately rather than promised with the Farmer or Founding Co-op plan.

  • Discuss the reporting your team actually needs
  • Review available data coverage for your locations
  • Agree on export and integration scope before purchase
  • No unlimited API or member-distribution promise
๐Ÿ“‹

Bring your own buying context.

A public reference is not your delivered price. Founding Co-op lets you add quote or purchase data for a more grounded comparison.

  • Record the input, price, unit, date, and vendor
  • Compare against available source-dated reference data
  • Review signals before the supplier conversation
  • PDF scorecards require quote or purchase records
  • Confirm delivered terms; signals are not purchasing advice

Start small. Discuss larger-team needs.

Founding Co-op includes two users. If you need a wider rollout, let's review your locations, workflows, and coverage together before choosing a larger plan.

  • Founding Co-op: 10 markets, two users, and two alerts
  • Existing Starter and Growth subscribers keep their current plans
  • Review team and export needs with us
  • Partner branding and API needs require a separate fit review

What GrainBrief Will Prove Before Publishing Customer Quotes

Founding co-ops get a live regional scorecard built from public data, with source cadence and decision-support limits visible before any buying recommendation is discussed.

Founding-rate validation

Customer testimonials, logos, and savings claims will only appear after written permission from real operators and traceable scorecard outcomes.

No fabricated social proof

The first validation goal is direct: five serious buyer conversations or one paid subscriber or sponsor in 30 days, then the page gets updated with proof.

Common Co-op Questions

Where does the grain price data come from?

GrainBrief uses public and source-fed market data where available, including USDA AMS cash-bid context, USDA AgTransport, USDA NASS, FAS/FGIS, CFTC, EIA, NOAA, FRED, state extension budget context, and Western Canada official-market sources. Each feed is labeled by source health, cadence, region, and decision-support limits.

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

Yes. Partner branding, co-branded pages, member scorecards, event QR handouts, affiliate tracking, and API/export needs are reviewed as custom partner-network options so the setup matches the actual footprint.

How does the API access work?

API and export access are available after fit review. Common use cases include member-facing signal pages, internal dashboards, regional scorecards, and alerts that point staff back to the supporting source-health context.

Is there a contract or cancellation fee?

No contracts. Cancel any month โ€” 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?

GrainBrief now supports U.S. role/state/crop pages, Western Canada Prairie pages, fertilizer and fuel pages, cash-bid and basis context where public data supports it, livestock and dairy margin lanes, and submitted bid-network context that is labeled separately from official data.
