Need a clearer picture when it comes to understanding commodity data and information? We’re happy to announce that we just released a new webpage for Infographics! This page will be dedicated to providing you with images, charts, and diagrams to help you better understand commodity data and information.
Check out our first infographics now — a weekly report for Soybeans and Corn!
The results are in! We surveyed leading agribusinesses and grain buyers on how they manage the workflows surrounding physical grain and used these results to create a whitepaper “How Agribusinesses Manage Cash Grain Workflows In Today’s Technology Landscape”.
We’re really excited about the release of this whitepaper because it will help Grain Elevator Managers, Grain Merchandisers, Traders, and Market Advisory Service firms who are faced with the challenge of adapting their workflows to keep up with an ever-changing Ag industry. Ag professionals will learn how to build data-forward cultures, invest in their people, and provide employees with the right tools for the job – scaling their operations now and into the future.
You can check out the full press release here. To download the whitepaper, please click here.
You asked for it, and now you've got it! All new data sets are available on cmdtyStats.

We’re hitting the road this summer with the launch of the cmdtyExchange Roadshow, a free conference series being held in five states across the Midwest.
We’ll be meeting with grain buyers, elevators/co-ops, processors, commodity professionals, and industry experts who will gain insights and perspectives on the 2019 grain market, and share information on the latest data and tools used to manage physical grain buying.
We’ll also be giving attendees an inside look at the data, analytics and tools behind our cmdty product line - including an overview of our patent-pending county, growing region and state-based grain price and basis indexes.
Come join us this summer! You can view the full agenda and register for free by selecting a city on our website.

We have steadily been building out our API-based economic calendar for integration into your trading system (know when to widen out your quotes), or software (make sure your users know the most important news of the day).
We are the only economic calendar out there that is focused on commodity markets. Today we're making it easier for you to know what commodity reports and economic events we have configured in the tool.
