Regardless of the quality, we will always try to post and find a buyer for your grain.

Agfinity has been offering two types of contracts for years: a Broker Note or a Grain Purchase Contract (GPC). The choice between them depends on the preference of the producer.

Broker Note:

1. We source the optimal buyer for your grain by gathering multiple bids. Once collected, we present them to you for approval on price, delivery timeline, and quantity.

2. The buyer pays you directly for your grain.

3. You will receive an invoice for the brokerage that is above the agreed to net price on the broker note.

4. The brokerage fee can be paid by the buyer, the seller, or split between the two depending on the broker note terms.

5. If it’s a delivered freight by Agfinity the Seller pays for freight.

6. Payment terms typically range from 10 to 21 days, depending on the buyers’ terms.

Grain Purchase Contract (GPC):

1. We source the optimal buyer for your grain by gathering multiple bids. Once collected, we present them to you for approval on price, delivery timeline, and quantity.

2. Agfinity pays you directly for your grain, eliminating the need for you to handle brokerage fees or invoices.

3. Payment is issued within a set timeframe after the last load, with options for more frequent payments for larger contracts.

4. Brokerage is already included in the seller’s net price.

5. You receive email notifications about any potential issues such as dockage, bushel weight, moisture issues or foreign materials, with your grain.

6. You will receive payment based on contract payment terms.

Payment terms will differ based on the type of contract you’ve signed.

If you have signed a Broker Note you will receive payment within 10 to 21 business days.

If you’ve signed a Grain Purchase Contract (GPC), payment terms can vary depending on the negotiated terms with the buyer. Contracts may vary in duration, whether outlined by business or calendar days. Recent contracts indicate potential payment delays of up to 52 business days.
