Grain Market Glossary:

Spot

The selling of grain “across the scale.” You receive the current price at the time of delivery. There is no obligation to deliver more grain at a future date.

Basis

Allows you to lock in the relationship between the cash market price and the futures price (the basis) to deliver grain at a future date. You may deliver the grain without the futures price.

Hedge-to-Arrive

An initial contract establishes the bushel amount, the delivery period, and the futures price. The basis will be set at a later date, prior to delivery.

Forward

This contract allows you to secure a cash price, locking in both futures and basis and setting the delivery period.

Minimum/Maximum Price

Allows you to lock in a minimum cash price for grain while providing the opportunity to take advantage of any price rally within a designated price range.
