Questions
Do I need an account to use these?
No. Every tool here works without signing up.
Is what I type sent anywhere?
The calculators run in your browser and send nothing. The payment protection checker, the rights card and the grade request send what you enter to GrainPosition's server to work out the answer, and store nothing; the privacy policy lists each.
Were you paid right on your last grain settlement?
Send me a photo of the settlement, and the contract if you have it. Within a day I’ll email you back what each line is, what’s worth asking the buyer about, and any grade or payment deadline that’s still open. Free, no account.
