Notice: Temporary Downtime for Accounting System Transition August 1st-4th

As we transition to our new accounting and grain software system, we will experience brief downtime between Friday August 1st and Monday August 4th.

 

During this time:

You will still be able to price grain. However, settlements and payments will be temporarily paused. We will also not be able to accept payment on accounts during this period.

 

We expect full functionality to resume on Tuesday August 5th. We appreciate your patience as we upgrade to a modern system designed to better support you in the future.
