MILO All AgMark Locations • Open Storage is available at the current rate of $.045/bu/mo • Price Later contracts available, Free until 10-31-13 then $0.045 / bushel / month AgMark LLC owners have aggressively invested in the storage and handling infrastructure in North Central Kansas. However we still may rely on timely truck and rail shipments to complete the harvest and need ownership or some control of grain delivered to our facilities. This is accomplished through purchases or “Price Later”. The fall harvest prospects continue to look good enough that we have implemented these policies to help the harvest occur with minimal to no interruptions. All policies and programs are subject to change anytime without notice or warning. PATRONAGE ON GRAIN DELIVERED TO CONCORDIA TERMINAL (WEST) We have received questions regarding the grain patronage process for grain delivered to the AgMark Terminal (West facility). As owners of AgMark LLC, Farmway, Cloud County and Randall Coops have the ability to determine how they allocate patronage to the customers that deliver grain to this facility. The patronage rate will be different for each cooperative and past patronage rates are not indicative of future patronage rates into this facility. Please consult the management of each one of these owner cooperative if you have questions on patronage.
DIRECT DEPOSIT AVAILABLE ON GRAIN CHECKS Your grain sales proceeds can be deposited directly into the bank account of your choice and you can still receive written confirmation of the settlement by mail. This will eliminate the problem of checks being lost or delayed in the mail and trips to the elevator and bank. Actual paper checks will still be available and are the only option for accounts with liens against them. If you are interested in the direct deposit option, please complete the “Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization Agreement” at any of our member elevator locations or administrative office in Beloit. If you have any questions; please don’t hesitate to call the Beloit office at 888-848-9979.
