base prices

The highest base price doesn’t always result in the highest value for your crop.

The premiums and discounts applicable to each contract need to always be taken into consideration before delivering wheat into a contract or making a sale.

This is highlighted by the following figures, which were taken from actual contracts held by the one grower for the 2001/2002-wheat harvest.
