Premier Cooperative Buys Grain 24/7
Champaign, IL, 09/24/2024 – Premier Cooperative, an Illinois farmer-owned cooperative providing agricultural commodities and energy products announced the ability for all farmer patrons to market grain 24/7 via the Premier+ platform, exclusive to Premier customers.
Patrons can now create purchase contracts at any hour of the day via Premier+, allowing them to take advantage of after-hour market opportunities. By providing patrons further access to markets, Premier is bringing unique solutions to customers, not able to be found elsewhere. In addition to purchasing grain via contract, Premier+ allows growers the ability to create offers at any time and for any delivery period.
Premier+ has been developed internally by Premier staff to bring non-traditional offerings to the customer, wherever they may be. This functionality includes 24/7 contracting & offers, customizable reporting, weather station access, and field specific benchmarking. Shawn Kinkade (CFO) states, “Premier+ is a first of its kind platform that allows our business to pivot to the customer’s needs quickly.” All functionality in Premier+ is in addition to the base offering of the Grower360 application and can be supported by all administrative staff.
