Elevator-side app (free to the farmer, paid by the grain buyer/retailer): branded app and web portal showing local cash bids and basis for corn, soybeans and wheat, contracts, scale tickets, work orders, prepaids, bookings, invoices and commodity balances; eSign of contracts, invoices and scale tickets; farmers can pay invoices and receive payments through embedded Bushel Pay; agribusinesses manage grain offers via Bushel Trade. Bushel states 3,500+ grain and ag-retail facilities are on its network (50%+ of US grain origination) and ADM and Cargill moved customers onto Bushel after the GrainBridge acquisition. Related farmer-paid product Bushel Farm (formerly FarmLogs) adds field records, per-field profitability, rainfall notifications, marketing/unsold-bushel tracking and integrations with John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView - these account for the 'partial' marks in accounting, agronomy, inputs, weather and equipment. ERP integrations exist (vendor links an 'ERPs' partner category) but specific systems are not named on pages fetched.

Your data
| Who owns it, who sees it | Bushel's privacy notice states 'We do not sell personal information to third parties,' says farm data such as field boundaries and yield records warrants 'heightened care' and will not be sold or licensed for purposes unrelated to the farm operation without explicit consent, while reserving use of non-identifiable, anonymized data and acting as a service provider to the grain buyer that controls account data. |
