After grain has been priced and delivered, payment can be arranged for a number of different ways.
Payment on completed direct-ship contracts will be made no sooner than the following business day the last load was delivered.
Please note – No payments will be issued until proper instructions have been given. AVC does not automatically send payment.
Special payment requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
All AVC policies are subject to change without notice.
Customers may enter into an agreement with qualified Ag Valley Cooperative (AVC) grain merchandising personnel to buy or sell grain through the use of Grain Offers.
Grain Offers are a free, no obligation agreement where AVC will monitor and make grain purchase or sales of a specific commodity, for a specific price, delivery period / timeframe and location (all predetermined by the customer). AVC will purchase / sell these bushels when the market reaches the needed level to execute the order.
Futures contracts that we use to hedge these purchase or sales are done in 5,000 bushel contract size.
Therefore quantity of bushels offered by the customer will determine whether or not the offer works during AVC business hours only or both day and night.
Grain Offers may be cancelled or revised at any time, providing notice has been received prior to the Grain Offer having been filled by AVC.
Once filled, Grain Offers become a binding, deliverable purchase or sales contract with AVC. Customers will be notified when Grain Offers fill and/or a delivery contract will be mailed out for signature(s).
Better fills received back from our broker are always given to the customer. This will occasionally occur due to fast moving or thinly traded markets. Grain prices are rounded down to the nearest penny.
Unless prior instructions have been given, AVC will wait for instructions from the customer before cutting a check or wiring money via ACH for in-store bushels that are sold via Grain Offer.
All AVC grain bids or policies are subject to change without notice.
Hedge-to-Arrive (HTA) contracts shall be written in full contract size only
Contract quantities may be split between joint individuals (those farming together).
Board of Trade fills, to the nearest quarter cent, are given to the customer.
There are additional fees associated with HTA contracts. These fees will be removed from final contract price when priced. Contact qualified Ag Valley Cooperative (AVC) grain merchandising personnel for HTA fee schedules.
HTA contracts, or portions of, must be priced (basis established) in contract size increments. For example, if Joe Farmer has an unpriced (basis not yet determined) 10,000 bushel HTA corn contract with AVC, pricing must be done in 5,000 bushel increments or all at once. Unless originally written as a MINI sized contract, soybeans must also be priced this way. Odd bushel amounts will not be allowed.
The Customer will be allowed to roll his/her HTA contract forward one time within the same marketing year for a small fee. Contact qualified Ag Valley Cooperative (AVC) grain merchandising personnel for HTA fee schedules.
In-store bushels are still subject to storage costs until HTA contracts are priced.
AVC reserves to right to change HTA policies or fees without notice.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will Ag Valley Cooperative (AVC) receive (dump) any grain that is determined to contain treated grains.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will AVC dump (any grain delivered in) seed tender trailers. If it is determined that treated grain has already been unloaded, the guilty party is liable for any and all costs associated with the contamination of AVC grain supplies. This could include, and is not limited to, all handling costs associated with the rejection of such grain once loaded out by truck, rail or any other like means.
Guilty parties may be asked to reload and haul away this grain, which in many instances will be larger quantities than originally delivered, due to contamination.
All AVC policies are subject to change without notice.
