Fixed Price Contract

Similar to a Deferred Delivery contract for non-CWB grains, you can lock in a Fixed Price for your CWB wheat, feed barley or durum outside of the CWB Price Pooling System and receive payment in full within 10 days of delivery.

A Fixed Price Contract provides you with:

Improved Cash Flow - You will receive payment in full up to the Fixed Price Contract amount within 10 days of delivery. Under the CWB Price Pooling System you must wait until after the end of the crop year to receive full payment for the delivered grain The Possibility of Higher Returns - You have the opportunity to receive a higher price for your grain using the Fixed Price Contract than you would with the CWB Price Pooling System
