Money decision
Storage ROI
Check whether storage still pays after carry, basis, fan cost, interest, shrink, and time.

Best when you are comparing sell-now, store, or wait decisions on grain you already have or expect to store.

Current viewStorage picture starts with entered bin, hold period, price, and cost assumptions. Next useful step: add one local cash bid to sharpen the sell-vs-store comparison.

Operating risk
Weather IQ
Check weather, spoilage, and timing risk before stored grain or field work turns into a deadline.

Use it for bin risk, wet patterns, heat, humidity, wind, and timing pressure.

Current viewWeather picture starts with location and forecast conditions. Next useful step: add stored grain moisture if available to sharpen the spoilage-risk read.

Net-farm bid comparison
Basis & Storage
Compare local buyer bids after freight, storage, delivery window, and premium assumptions.

Bid comparisons are planning estimates. Confirm final terms directly with the buyer before committing grain.

Paid workflowBid picture starts with manually entered buyer bids. Next useful step: add freight or mileage to compare bids on a net-farm basis.

Premium economics
45Z Net Return
Check whether a premium offer beats your local fallback after paperwork, risk, freight, and cost.

CI means carbon intensity. 45Z estimates are farmer-side planning estimates, not official USDA/IRS scoring.

Current view45Z picture starts with premium offer, participation cost, and local fallback bid. Next useful step: add verification/documentation cost to sharpen the break-even premium.
