Premium Offer

Get a premium price for your grain. Sell new or old grain now for an enhanced cash price. In exchange, make a Firm Offer to sell the same number of bushels for deferred delivery at an established price.

  • Sell grain today for an enhanced cash price.
  • Agree to a Firm Offer for like quantity if the futures price is at or above a target price on an established pricing date.
  • Deliver your additional bushels if the market is at or above your Firm Offer.
  • You keep your premium, even if the Firm Offer isn’t triggered.
Use when the market is:
  • Neutral

Focal Point

Sell now. Participate in potential upside market movement. Use this contract when you need to sell grain — or have already sold — but you aren’t happy with today’s price. Deliver grain now, express your bias, and stay in the market during the pricing period.

  • Establish an initial price on a selected futures reference month.
  • Automatically re-enter the market if conditions change — with the potential to enhance the contract price.
  • Set your final Focal Point price any time before the final pricing deadline.
