What AGSIST covers

Commodities
Corn, soybeans, wheat — plus specialty grades (white & food-grade corn, food-grade soybeans, milo) where elevators post them.
Geography
Nationwide. Bids appear wherever elevators post them — Corn Belt, Northern & Southern Plains, Delta, Southeast, and Pacific Northwest.
Source
Two feeds, merged. Where AGSIST reads an elevator’s own posted bid board — marked direct from the elevator on the results — that board wins. Everything else comes from the Barchart OnDemand API, the same elevator-posted feed merchandisers use. The map below shows which is which.
Freshness
Updated through the trading day, during market hours.
Each bid shows
Cash price (futures + basis), contract month, delivery window, and distance from your ZIP.

Coverage map

Every grain elevator AGSIST tracks, nationwide. Green means we read that elevator’s own posted board. Grey means we know it’s there and it’s in the queue. The network grows most weeks — if yours is grey, tell us and it moves up.

Missing your elevator? Some smaller independents don’t post bids electronically at all, and some we simply haven’t added yet. Either way the form below is the fastest way to get it on the map.
