A commonly used contract where the producer receives a spot price at the time of delivery without having to make prior arrangements.
Allows delivery to any location. Store for a monthly charge that is pro-rated daily. This is a great option for anyone who gets feed with Allied or wants to store bushels to take advantage of future market rallies.
Allows for the producer to lock in a price for a future delivery. It locks in the futures, basis and delivering period, making a great option for producers to establish a preferred new crop selling price.
The initial contract establishes the bushel amount, delivery period, and the futures price. The basis is then locked in before delivery occurs and the contract now becomes a cash contract.
This option allows for an initial contract, which states the bushel amount, delivery period and the corresponding basis to a certain futures month. The futures price will be set later. Grain can be delivered without pricing the contract, but ownership changes at the time of delivery.
This option is used when anticipating favorable market movement, while being protected by a minimum price allowing to safely participate in market movements for future profits.
This option has a set bushel amount, price and delivery period, but the contract will be paid out later, often after the first of the year.
This option is available to anyone with on-the-farm storage who wants to enhance their marketing power through Allied delivering on their contracts.
Utilize Allied’s extensive fleet of trucks and get a forward delivery contract picked up at your farm without having to worry about freight. Pricing will depend upon farm location and loading speeds.
This is a new crop forward delivery contract where you nominate bushels that are priced out over a 10-week pricing window from spring to early summer giving you an average price. The deadline for signing up for this contract is April 30.
Have a target price in mind? Let Allied watch the markets for you with a good-till-canceled offer to sell a specific amount of bushels during a specific delivery period. If the markets reach your target, you will be locked in to a contract at your target price. This is a staple of every great marketing program.
Allied has access to CHI Compass contracts. These are innovative contracting options that rely on OTC derivatives to manage price risk. They typically will pay a premium to the current cash market for risk in bushels. Click here learn more about the Compass contracts offerings.

The United States Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) will soon implement new requirements to its Hazardous Communication Standard. One of the new requirements is the inclusion of grain dust as a hazardous chemical under the new standard. Because the United States Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) now defines grain dust as a hazardous chemical, Allied Cooperative is now considered a chemical manufacturer under federal law. As such, we are required to provide you with the following Safety Data Sheets for the products we deliver to our customers. Please review the Safety Data Sheets linked below. One sheet is for whole grain products. This provides information for corn, soybean, wheat, oat products and any other non-processed grain product. The other sheet is for feeds. This provides information on mixes of Allied Cooperative's feed for all animals fed, whether it is shipped out in bulk or in bags. Allied Cooperative would like to assure you that no changes have been made to any of our feed products and that our feed is not hazardous to the animals you are feeding. We are simply complying with the new federal regulations. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Safety Department at 608-339-3394, ext. 3320.
