What these are: USDA Market News surveys elevators and processors each day and reports, for each area or town, the range of cash bids and the average, with the basis (cash minus the futures month shown, in cents; Z = Dec, X = Nov, H = Mar). Distances run to the middle of each area, so the closest area isn't always the closest elevator. Your own elevator's bid will differ; call them before you haul. Information only, not advice.

Source: USDA AMS Market News daily grain bid reports, loaded each weekday afternoon. ZIP locations: U.S. Census Bureau. Addresses are looked up with the free Census geocoder and are never saved. Ethanol plants: EIA plant list, capacity as of January 1, 2026. Elevators, co-ops, storage, processors and mills: EPA Facility Registry Service by industry code; river and port terminals that handle grain: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers port facilities (2024). Government records can lag, so a place may have closed or changed owners; call ahead. Each buyer's own posted bid isn't shown here yet. Map © OpenStreetMap contributors.
