Nuseed expands seed platform with U.S. acquisition

Growers Edge (www.growers-edge.com) offers a free cash bid servicefor farmers to locate the best net cashgrain prices within 100 miles of theirfarms.

Based on a grower’s location, theGrowers Edge program calculates thebest net bid after trucking and storagecosts are deducted. By comparing theirlocal elevator price with all surround-ing elevators, ethanol plants and grainterminals, users of this free servicereport making 20 to 40 cents more perbushel by shopping for the best marketprice.

“Our farmer-users asked for a way tofind the best net local bid for theircrops,” said Craig Mouchka, presidentof Growers Edge. “Farmers normallycheck three or four of their closest mar-kets and they can easily miss their bestcash price. Our cash bid program helpsfarmers find the best cash bid. We arefinding that 70 percent of the time forsoybeans and 90 percent of the time forcorn, that the net cash bid found bygrowers-edge.com is better to what isbeing offered by the closest market.Plus the results come right to the farm-ers computer screen without makingany calls.”

Gary Schmalshof of Macomb, Ill.,said, “I discovered that we could haulcorn 100 miles to Decatur and get anextra 70 cents a bushel — we made anadditional 30 cents a bushel after

trucking. Without Growers Edge Inever would have known that pricewas available.”

It takes a real effort for growers toconstantly check markets up to 100miles away, but Growers Edge doeseverything automatically. Farmerssimply determine the search radiusfrom their farms, and the cash bid toolsearches for the best net bid withinthat radius. Growers Edge brings awhole new level of transparency to sell-ing grain. Expanding local marketingopportunities is important, especiallywhen commodity prices are volatile, asthey have been in recent years.

Growers-edge.com provides farmersa free, one-stop resource for their busi-ness and marketing needs. Currently,more than 11,000 farmers use growers-edge.com to help enhance their profits.For more information, and to sign upfor the cash bids system and other freefeatures from Growers Edge, log on towww.growers-edge.com.
