Anybody got any links to a website that will explain all the different grain marketing contracts that are out there that a guy can read through? Kinda like " Grain Marketing for Dummies". Lol. Just talked to a PSR from Cargill and they have 14 different types of contracts you can use to sell wheat and Canola right now. This is getting very confusing for us old dog new tricks crowd that have sold most stuff through the Wheat Board forever.

Got past the worst part of the field that needed straight cut headers to pick up the swaths. Should be a better day today.
