Here locally we have similar options. I've not sold grain for a few years now as I've got a better market for everything (corn, wheat, alfalfa) as silage to a couple of local dairies. But I am current on my choices. Within 14 miles I have a co-op that will take corn, ear or shelled, with limited capacity. Also, one farm store with limited capacity for ear corn only. Either of these can only store around 5000 bushels at one time. Ear corn is 1.00 dollar premium over shelled on a 70 pound bushel weight using the daily paper spot market.
In a larger 30 mile radius are several (more than 10) milling and feed companies that also buy and sell acting as brokers. They take shelled corn, soybeans, and other grains. To my knowledge, as long as I stay within 30 miles we dont have a contracting option. Its call around and find the best price that day, then show up. Once I get out more than 30 miles there are lots of options with river port terminals, brokers, etc. Generally speaking, I found that freight cost more than outweighed any premium I got for not staying local. Also, there are several farmer speculators here who buy corn and particularly soybeans on a match price basis to store in their bins. Im like most people here, no storage except for ear corn.
