We’re committed to providing agribusinesses with the data and tools they need in order to make better decisions, improve workflows, and minimize risk. From our innovative grain yield forecasts to our grain basis indexes, you’re probably thinking it couldn’t possibly get any better, but we’re here to raise the bar again with the launch of cmdty Basis Forecast Indexes for Corn and Soybeans.

Sitting within Barchart's cmdty product line, these forecasts combine historical seasonality and current spot pricing to generate a forward curve of expected grain basis, giving grain buyers, marketers, and producers a simplified way to price and market grain more effectively. Over 12,000 unique forecasts are calculated each day across nine rolling delivery windows, and are available via daily updates for cmdtyView Pro and API subscribers.

Here’s how you can benefit:

Grain Buyers: Improve your pricing strategy with forecasts that combine historical seasonality and current spot pricing to generate a forward curve that more effectively predicts future spot basis.

Grain Marketers: Improve your grain marketing strategies to grow your business and help your clients. Quickly identify mispriced basis opportunities and position your portfolio accordingly.

Producers: Our forecasts outperform grain bid forward curves and we’ve got the data to prove it. Combine twelve months of grain basis forecasts, our grain basis indexes, and grain yield forecasts to earn more from your crop.
