Dave from MN Corn contracts?

They arranged for me to deliver to another facility, closer than ADM-BQ, delivered them this past week. I am still not real happy having to pay storage for the extra month, but at least I got that back in less trucking cost. I am a pretty easy going guy and probably should have made a bigger issue of them not even being able to take the may contract, R/O contract I can see, but not May's. I offered to just buy the contract back, or void it due to them not being able to take delivery, but hey did not want to do that. I have 2 fall contracts with them, not sure if I will do any more with that facility. I will not do business with the elevator that I had it stored at either, they do not return calls, dont have printed scale tickets so if the driver doesnt get out of the truck or tractor the "employee" writting out the slip can write about anything he wants for test weight and scale weights.
 
What kind of 2-bit outfit are you doing business with? We have literally spent millions to have computer controlled scales, testers and printers to receive and ship grain. Other than acts of God and war, contracts are resolved on a timely basis. MN may be different, but in IL they have tightened up the regulations and made it to the point that the elevator is responsible for seller performance to avoid being written up by regulators. I tell people often that elevators are regulated nearly as closely as banks. If the books don't balance at the end of the day someone stays until it is figured out.

IL has one of the best elevator programs in the country, many states have modeled their program after the one in IL. It protects the farmer and the elevator from questionable practices and has saved a lot of farmers from bankruptcy. A truck load of beans can be worth almost $15,000, it ain't chump change any more. Sorry about the soap box, but this part of the business should be important to everyone.
