Selling your grain can be easier. It can be simpler. Most importantly, it can be more profitable and secure.
At the end of the growing season you have options. Store or deliver your grain. Traditionally, you’ve cared for your crops and harvested your bounty then delivered to your local elevator/cooperative. The reward you receive for your dedication to the land is set by the market price of grain at the time you deliver. Sometimes you take the market price from the elevator closest or most familiar to you, despite a better price at another location. Why? Familiarity and convenience. Sitos respects your delivery preferences and has developed a method to provide the comfort of this time-honored delivery process while securing guaranteed payment for your hard work at the most competitive of rates. How? By purchasing your grain via contract and allowing you to deliver to the local elevator/cooperative of your choice and at your convenience. Just think... you can sell your grain at a premium and truck it to your preferred location; saving fuel, saving money, and saving time.
Sitos was established to provide you with an innovative marketing tool, which secures not only competitive pricing but also increased delivery options. This flexibility gives farmers a mechanism to market their grain while still retaining the ability to deliver to the most competitive market. It's truly the market for anyone. Sitos can trade on your behalf, providing more options to you than competing elevators can in direct purchase scenarios.
Utilizing Sitos unique flex delivery contract, we are consistently in the market to purchase your harvested grain. With a strong balance sheet and proven history of payment consistency, you can confidently sell your grain to Sitos and still deliver to the most competitive delivery destination in the area.

Sitos identified a long-standing cash delivery inefficiency in the grain markets. The farmer’s ability to optimize his marketing alternatives was restricted based on a contracted, singular delivery obligation. Sitos Grain was created to eliminate this inefficiency by transferring that opportunity back to the producer. By providing multiple delivery destinations. Sitos now offers specific contracts to capitalize on this potential market premium. Sitos Grain is a licensed and bonded grain buyer in the state of Minnesota. Sitos has substantial equity and an extensive line of credit with AgCountry Farm Credit Services to help facilitate all of our customer needs.
