Bushelannounces an innovative new feature for Bushel Farm:automated grain contract entry.
Bushel Farmmanagement software (FMS) is designed to now offer automated grain contract entry, a functionality that benefits both farmers and grain buyers. This will be available for farmers doing business with more than 2,600 grain facilities on the Bushel platform.
“On my family’s farm, I’ve seen the need to create and maintain a near real-time grain marketing plan to get a clearer picture of what decisions drive the most profits on the farm,” Bushel presidentRyan Ragusesaid. “The more we can automate that process, the better.”
Benefits to grain businesses
- Improved grain origination: Well-informed farmers who know their cost of production, marketing position and farm profitability are more likely to feel confident forward contracting grain and submitting firm offers.
- Strengthened farmer relationships: Farmers using Bushel Farm are more likely to do business with buyers in the Bushel Network because the connection to automate grain contracts simplifies their workflows and makes it easier to generate meaningful insights.
Transparency equals trust
"When we enable farmers to easily access and track their grain contracts using Bushel Farm, it fosters transparency, trust, and mutual success,” Mike Hainline, grain merchandiser atAGRIServices of Brunswick, said. “The seamless integration of these tools reduces paperwork, enhances communication, and enables faster decision-making. As a result, we can allocate resources efficiently, boost productivity, and achieve sustainable growth benefiting both our agribusiness and our valued farmers.”
Agribusiness customers say transparency builds trust, said Bushel CEOJake Joraanstad.
“改善农民进入他们的合同公司mation is a win-win for both agribusinesses and farmers,” said Joraanstad. “The powerful contract automation feature of Bushel Farm wouldn't be possible without the digital infrastructure we've built to digitize, permission and accelerate the flow of information throughout the agriculture supply chain. The efficiencies and transparencies created will create win-wins for both farmers and agribusinesses.”
How to connect
If a farmer does not have a Bushel Farm subscription, a 30-day free trial of any ofBushel Farm’s three plansis available for new users, and all plans include the ability to automate contract entry from buyers in the Bushel Network.
