If you’re going to capture a profitable price for your grain, it helps to have a partner who can help you navigate today’s volatile grain markets.  

We offer a variety of marketing tools, and we access numerous markets, which helps us offer you strong prices for your grain.  

Our grain contracts range from cash sales to hedge-to-arrive and more. We also offer deferred payment contracts, direct deposit of grain checks, grain hauling services, and grain market insights. 

We’ll find a solution that works for your operation! 

DELIVERIES

River Valley Cooperative provides two delivery options for marketing your grain: 
  1. More than 40 million bushels of licensed storage space between our facilities in Iowa and Illinois. These include our feed milling facilities, which utilize 50,000 bushels of corn/day. 
  2. A direct-ship program to local terminals. Bushels can be delivered to several delivery points through different freight options. The same marketing options available for grain hauled into our elevators are available on direct-ship bushels. We offer multiple delivery points and can price grain delivered or as farm pick-up.

TARGET AVERAGING


 The Target Averaging contract only prices futures on days that the market is at or above a target price that you set. When the average futures price is finalized, bushels may be delivered to the destination of your choice. 

How it works: 

1.) Commit to a bushel amount. Tell us how many bushels you would like to enroll in the Target  Averaging program. You can enroll in old crop and/or new crop pricing periods, just be sure to sign up prior to the enrollment deadline. 

2.) Designate a target price. The Target Price does not lock in a price, but it represents the minimum futures price at which you are willing to make sales. For example, you might select a Target Price that represents your breakeven price to ensure that you are only averaging on days when prices are above your cost of production. 

3.) Let the averaging begin! Each day the futures market settles above your Target Price, a few bushels are sold at that day’s settlement price. Each day the futures market settles below your Target Price, no bushels are sold, but they are put on hold and accumulated until the market returns to the Target Price. 

If the market never reaches the Target Price, then the bushels remain unsold. 

Please note: Depending on the Target Price you select and market action, there is no guarantee that your bushels will get priced.
