How It Works

Building the Ground Truth on Elevator Bids

1

You Submit Your Bid

Takes 60 seconds. No account required. Just your commodity, location, and the bid you heard at the elevator today.

2

It Goes Into the Database

Your bid is anonymized (IP hashed, no raw address stored) and added to the state+commodity database for your region.

3

Everyone Benefits

Farmers across your state can see what others are getting at their local elevators — so nobody takes a low bid because they didn't know better.

4

We Benchmark It

GrainBrief cross-references submitted bids with USDA AMS state averages to flag outliers and improve data quality for everyone.

Your Privacy Is Baked Into the Architecture

We designed this with privacy first — not as an afterthought. Here's exactly what we collect and what we don't.

No raw IP stored
SHA-256 hash only
Email optional
No account required
Elevator name optional
No cookies for this form

Elevator names are never shown without your explicit submission. If you enter an elevator name, it appears in the public feed as submitted. If you leave it blank, it shows as "Anonymous Elevator."
