If you have grain stored, either in warehouse or on-farm, make sure you OFFER it for sale "at the price you want" on Clear Grain Exchange or igrain respectively.

This way ALL BUYERS can see it, crunch their numbers and try to buy it.

Rather than negotiating with a few buyers over the phone or email, OFFER it for sale on an independent and secure exchange so all buyers can try and buy your grain.
