With our geospatial mapping intelligence you can take any data that has a geospatial component to it, and make it available within cmdtyView’s mapping. This includes cash grain bids, grain indexes, yield forecasts and various other data sets. 

Numerous filter options for each layer makes data discovery easier and helps “bring the data to the surface”. You also have the ability to play back historical data at controlled speeds to look for trends! 

The cash price window is a great tool to grab the cash price data you need and sort it and filter it in the way that you need. You can easily discover hard to find data by choosing your asset class then applying various filters.
