Why use pools? 

Deciding your marketing style

There is no one strategy or product that can get you the best price every year but what you use to sell your wheat will depend on your cash flow requirements, your view of the market and your appetite for risk.

As a general rule, there are three possible stages to marketing your grain: pre-harvest contracting, harvest spot delivery & contracting, and post harvest selling. Each type has benefits and risks but at the end of the day, the question for you, as a seller of grain is: do I want to market the grain myself, or do I want someone else to take care of this aspect for me?

Deciding on a strategy will assist on keeping you marketing plan on track, regardless of outside influences.

So why use pools?

The key strength of pools is that we do everything for you, allowing you to focus on the running of your business and being a farmer.

The question of whether or not to use pools is not a product question it's a marketing question that goes to the core of deciding how you best want to use your time on the farm.
