Grain Marketing

For any agri-business, successful grain marketing is a complicated and time-consuming task. Newco provides a full range of services to convert your hard work from the bin to the bank including intelligent market advice, a variety of contract options, professional freight service, and a number of payment methods. Our ultimate goal is to offer these services in a trustworthy and friendly manner so that we can build long-term relationships with all our customers.

Grain Merchants vs. Grain Brokers

Grain brokers attempt to negotiate deals between buyers and sellers. Brokers offer an efficient service, and Newco has excellent working relationships with most brokers throughout Western Canada. However, in a brokered deal both parties retain most of their risk until the transaction is complete. Newco's grain merchandising service goes beyond brokerage to assume physical ownership - and thus risk - in all grain transactions. The following chart contains a breakdown of how that risk is assumed.
