Turn a grain contract photo into a tracked contract.

From a photo to a contract, in four steps

1. Take a photo, or pick the PDFIn the app, on the Contracts tab: Read a contract. A phone photo of the paper copy works, and so does the PDF the buyer emailed.
2. It reads what’s printedThese fill in, with what it saw on the document shown above them, so you can compare:
   • Buyer
   • Contract number
   • Crop
   • Quantity
   • Price
   • Delivery window
   • Priced or open
3. You check every fieldAnything it wasn’t sure of is highlighted. Nothing is saved until you press Save, because a misread number nobody looked at would be worse than typing it.
4. Save it, and it’s on the bookWhat’s sold, what’s left and the average price update. Before saving, “What if I sell?” shows what taking the contract does to your position.

Then the rest of the contract’s life

Explore the full grain contract tracking workflow, including sold percentage, remaining deliveries and crop-year averages.

A contract isn’t finished when it’s signed. The truck goes out, and weeks later the settlement comes. Each one is a photo too, and each one is tied back to the contract. (How to track grain contracts covers each step if you do it by hand.)

1 · Contract

The buyer sends a contract

Buyer, number, crop, quantity, price and delivery window.

2 · Scale ticket

A truck goes out

Ticket number, date, weights, moisture, dockage and grade. If the contract number is on the ticket, the load goes on that contract.

3 · Settlement

The settlement arrives

Quantity, price and every deduction, checked against the gross on the statement.

And the number that matters

With the contract and its settlements in, the dashboard shows what you contracted against what you were actually paid. On the sample, $628.50 a tonne on the contract and $619.36 actually paid: $9.14 a tonne went to the check-off and freight.

Don’t have the app? The free settlement checker does the same sum for one settlement, and splits the difference into price, weight and deductions.

What it reads

It reads what’s printed. If a field isn’t on the document it’s left empty, and if the photo isn’t a contract at all it says what it looks like instead. Quantities in bushels or pounds are converted to tonnes with that crop’s bushel weight.

Where the photo goes

The file is sent to Anthropic’s Claude to be read, and the fields it finds come back to fill in the form. GrainPosition does not archive the file on its server. The app's offline capture queue can keep a device-only copy until it is read, with proposed fields kept for review until saved or deleted. Captures expire after 7 days and are cleaned up when the queue is next opened; signing out clears this device's queue. Anthropic doesn’t use it to train its AI models; it may keep it for a limited time under its own terms, for example to detect abuse. What is kept is the contract you save, and a record that a read happened, without its content, to cap reads at 25 per farm per day. The privacy policy has the details.
