Grain Delivery Options & Policies
At SELC, grain is received under three different options depending on the shareholders share ownership.
Wet Delivery is accepted in the fall during harvest. This corn is accepted between 14-22% moisture. Using this option members are able to deliver their corn directly out of the field to SELC without the drying cost they may incur at other locations. This corn is then bunkered at SELC and used throughout the next year. If members do not have grain of their own, arrangements can be made through Tom Miller, SELC's Commodity Manager, to have grain delivered on their behalf. Grain is then delivered from a "Pool Account" to fill SELC Member accounts.
Modified Wet Delivery is accepted during the winter months into spring. The delivery period is determined by corn usage needs of the plant. Typically grain is delivered from Jan through March. This corn is delivered between 14-19%. Using this option allows member to utilize on farm storage without the need for running a dryer. Again members are exempt from drying costs. Premiums are available to members to assist with any additional storage costs. We encourage members to manage their grain responsibly to ensure good condition.
Dry Delivery is accepted during the spring and summer months. Delivery periods are established based upon the need of the plant. Typically delivery begins in April and continues through the month of September. Moisture requirements for this grain range from 13-17%Premiums are available to members to assist with any additional storage costs. 2009 Dry Corn Policy
For the 2009 Crop Year members owning wet shares will again be able to elect modified corn delivery in January through March of 2009 instead of harvest 2008 delivery. Members owning more than 1 wet share may elect to deliver all corn as modified or split shares so a portion is delivered as wet corn at harvest and the remaining shares delivered as modified in 2007. Corn must be split on a per share basis instead of per bushel basis. I.e.: One 2,500 bu. share Wet / One 2,500 bu. share modified instead of 4,000 bushels wet / 1,000 bushels modified. ONLY WET SHARES ARE ELIGIBLE TO DELIVER GRAIN AS MODIFIED BUSHELS.
