What AGSIST covers

Geography

Source
Sourced from the Barchart OnDemand API — the same elevator-posted feed merchandisers use.
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.
Where it’s thin: some smaller independent elevators don’t post bids electronically, so they won’t show up. If your local elevator is missing, that’s usually why — and it’s exactly what the form below is for.
