Forward offers snapped up on MarketPlace

Although there is so much familiarity with the turning seasons in agriculture, we find ourselves at yet another fascinating intersection of pricing, world events and weather.

As many of our growers run the gauntlet of seeding and spraying, we'd like to remind you of the new functionality to book forward contracts of MarketPlace. 

The idea behind it is remarkably simple, to give you the time and space to get on with other crucial tasks in your business and set a firm target price and have it in the market. 

Since March 2022, we have seen forward offers for Wheat and Canola snapped up on MarketPlace and encourage all our DailyGrain users to look at taking advantage of the functionality we’ve designed to let you set and forget your pricing targets and capitalise while the market is running hot.
