How does this work?
Let's see how we can help you
- Yes! Most of the Farmers selling grain through our service employ their own grain marketer for risk management advice. In fact, we’re happy to recommend one for you if you’re looking for a broker.
- We’re a service you can use to act on hedging decisions without having to worry about margin calls or committing bushels to an elevator before you’re ready to set basis. NOT a broker trying to sell you on a grain marketing plan.

- 5,000 Bushels (Corn, Soybeans, Wheat)
- No! You can choose to price any number of bushels above the minimum of 5,000.
- Example: 22,000 BUs of Soybeans
- Yours! Select what entity you like to be paid as and a settlement statement will be generated for you. This can be used for FSA and Crop Insurance filings.
- Pricing Tool fees are set before you transact and deducted from your settlement check upon grain delivery.
- Example: Farmer executes a 5 cent Pricing Tool that guarantees a futures price of $7.25.
- Upon delivery, Farmer will receive $7.25, less 5 cents, for a net futures price of $7.20 (plus or minus basis).

OUR CUSTOMER'S REVIEW
What Customer's are saying
About Us
I've built a strong relationship around trust with the team at Farmer's Keeper. Their quick responses and knowledgeable customer service help keep me up to date on the grain markets.
We'll sell grain to whoever's got the best basis in our area. With Farmer's Keeper, we can price futures without committing bushels to one elevator. Now we know we'll get the best basis available later in the season.
Margin calls have crippled Farms over the past couple of years. Farmer's Keeper gives us the ability to sell cash grain without worrying about margin calls if the market goes against us.
I'm too busy on the farm to watch the markets every second and study marketing strategies. I have peace of mind knowing some of my bushels are in a Farmer's Keeper Managed Pricing Program so I can get back to farming.
