The first time you call your local grain elevator is an intimidating prospect for the typical city dweller. Some things you you should know:
  • How much corn you want to buy. Corn is sold either by the ton (2000lbs) or by the Bushel (usually 56lbs).

You should typically ask if it possible to have the corn Screened, but many elevators do not offer this service. Still, if they do, and the price is not too high, it would be recommended because your stove will run the best with clean corn.

  • It is not unheard of for the elevator to add on a handling fee to the market price of corn. My local elevator adds 10 cents per bushel.
