AGP will be closed on Friday, April 18th

 

As the market develops and we go into spring planting, we would like to remind our patrons about Direct Ship opportunities through FCE. You can sell your grain through your Cooperative into local processors and receive the benefits of doing business with the coop. Locations include but are not limited to: ADM Marshall, GFE, Mankato, AGP or Brewster. Please contact Mark or Laura for bids either delivered or picked up on farm.

 

FCE will begin Free Price Later on corn and soybeans starting 2-17-25. If bushels are not priced by 9-26-25 a minimum storage fee of 12 cents/bu on corn and 18 cents/bu on soybeans is applied and normal storage rates will apply thereafter. Bushels on free DP can't be applied to any forward contract. All corn will be shrunk to 14% moisture. Subject to capacity constraints and may be shut off in certain locations at any time. Please watch the website for any updates. 

 

Daily cash text bids are now being sent through the FCE App. Download the app in the App Store and click 'Allow Notifications' to be included on the daily list. Please contact the office with questions.

 

 

 

 

The FCE Grain Department continues to grow and is ready to assist in marketing decisions for your farm. In December we added Mark Schoenfeld to our team, who brings significant knowledge and an in depth understanding of grain markets and marketing tools to help boost profitability.

Going forward, we would like to establish guaranteed hours where a representative from our team will be in the office.

A Grain Marketing Representative will be in the Hanley Falls office Tuesday & Thursday from 9:00am-Noon and in Montevideo on Monday and Wednesday from 9:00am-Noon.

Walks-ins are always welcome, or feel free to contact us to make an appointment either in the office or on your farm. Remember to ask about the multiple styles of marketing contracts that you can use to fit your individual marketing needs.

Additionally, we usually will be available in person outside of these posted hours or available anytime by phone.
