Managing risk to optimize price
Grain and oilseed markets can be complex and fluid, and the best opportunity one minute can change in the next. The grain team at Farmers Union Cooperative is here to provide a strategic, forward-thinking approach to marketing that will help you manage volatility and realize a better overall outcome from your grain sales.
Because of our geographic location, we have several choices in where we sell grain. This provides us with unique opportunities to market your grain and diversify your portfolio to manage risk.
We often work with our farmer-members to put together sales to achieve a better price. Whether you sell to us, a processor, or a river terminal, we’ll help you capture a better price with delivery terms that work for you (whether you deliver or utilize our services).
Our facilities
We have facilities in Ossian, Fort, Postville, Waucoma and Manchester that receive corn, soybeans and oats. Our West Union location handles corn only.
Grain delivered to our feed mills is used in the area as livestock feed. You can also utilize our grain bank service for your own feed needs.
We make regular investments in our facilities to ensure a smooth unloading process, and we have storage of around 5 million bushels.
During the busy fall season, we flex our hours to keep grain moving and get you back to the field as soon as possible.

Grain Programs
We offer numerous specialized marketing contracts that help spread risk and take advantage of opportunities when they arise. Please talk to us about your objectives, and we’ll work with you to choose contracts that fit your risk tolerance and profit goals.
In addition to grain contracts, we offer services such as discounted drying at the beginning of the fall season. We also can do on-farm pickup with our trucks, and we can deliver to direct-ship locations at your request.
