Post your elevator’s cash bids on AGSIST, free
I run AGSIST. Farmers use it to look up cash bids near them. If you run an elevator, you can post your own bids here at no cost, the way you already set them each morning.
Ask to post your bidsWhat you get
- Your bids on cash bids with your name, town, phone and the time you posted, next to the other elevators near the farmer.
- Your town page, the page that comes up when someone searches cash bids in your town.
- Price alerts. Farmers near you who set an alert get an email when your bid reaches their price.
- The AGSIST Daily, the morning email, which shows bids near each reader.
How you post
- Your bid email or textIf you already send a bid sheet each morning, say so on the form and I'll set it up so your bids post from that. Nothing new to learn.
- A private link on your phonePost basis by crop and delivery month. Add your hours, harvest hours, a short note, or mark yourself closed today. On days nothing moves, one tap says no change.
- Your company’s own web pageIf a company web team runs your bid page, ask them to post your location’s bids there. We read them from that page.
What it costs
Nothing. No fee, no contract, no card. Paying for anything else on AGSIST never moves a bid up or down the list.
How it starts
- Send the form below.
- I call the elevator at its own number to make sure you work there.
- I send you your link, or set up the bid email with you. Usually within two business days; slower at the height of harvest.
- Nothing shows on the site until you post.

Questions
Who can ask?
Someone who works at the elevator and sets or sends the bids, like the manager or merchandiser. I call the elevator at its own number before anything goes live.
Can I take my bids down?
Yes. Write or call me and the listing comes off the same day. If your link gets lost or passed around, I make a new one and the old one stops working.
How is the cash price worked out?
From the basis you post and the futures month you post it against, with the time you posted shown beside it, so a farmer can tell how fresh it is.
We already show up as grey on the map. What does that mean?
We know your elevator is there but have no way to read your bids yet. Posting here is the quickest way to change that. See the coverage map.
