Weighing & Delivery Information

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

  • ¨ 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.  Once a deferred payment is issued it cannot be changed.

 

GMO POLICY: All Non-Approved European Corn hybrids must be channeled and segregated for shipment to buyers willing to accept GMO modified grain.  StateLine Cooperative will accept GMO corn with notification of delivery from producers.   This policy is subject to change without notice if our buyers are unwilling to accept GMO corn.
