Weighing & Delivery Information

Before beginning delivery, customers are asked to provide scale and probe operators with the following information:

  • Customer Identification/Name(s)
  • Split between owners
  • Commodity (Beans or Corn)

It is helpful to SLC accounting personnel if tenants keep their landlords advised on the status of their joint grain deliveries.  Please advise the scale operator upon completion of a delivery.

Disposition

Customers will have 15 days from the first day of unload of delivery to specify the positioning of grain (sell, storage, grain bank, price later).  If disposition has not been specified after the 15th day priced contracts will be filled first, and the balance of grain will automatically be placed in storage.  Priced contracts will have checks issued unless customer has specified that a deferred payment is to be issued.  Last day for Deferred Payment changes will be Friday December 15, 2017.

GM POLICY: All non-approved export corn hybrids must be channeled and segregated for shipment to buyers willing to accept genetically modified grain.  StateLine Cooperative will accept genetically modified corn with notification of delivery from producers.   This policy is subject to change without notice if our buyers are unwilling to accept genetically modified corn traits.

Contract Cancellation

Seller has an unconditional obligation to deliver all of the contracted grain by the end of the Delivery Period.  Any request by the seller for a cancellation of the contract and the terms of any such cancellation will be considered by StateLine Cooperative on a "case by case" basis and there is no assurance that cancellation will be permitted by StateLine Cooperative.  In no event will a cancellation request be accepted by StateLine Cooperative if StateLine Cooperative determines, in its sole discretion, that such cancellation would have the effect of causing the contract to not be a cash forward contract.
