Each product in brief

ADM FarmView

ADM (Archer-Daniels-Midland Company). 2 of 10 capabilities described, 1 partial. Pricing: not published.

Grain marketing is 'partial': FarmView shows futures and ADM cash bids, grain contracts, payment information, scale tickets and settlements, and (desktop only) scale-ticket applications; ADM's own comparison page says offer submission and payment initiation are planned in the separate FBN app, not FarmView. Elevator integration is ADM-only (direct feed from ADM's grain accounting via Bushel). Android and iPhone apps plus web portal. No AI, agronomy, weather, equipment or labor features described.

Barchart grower apps

Barchart.com, Inc. (Barchart). 3 of 10 capabilities described, 2 partial. Pricing: not published.

Grain marketing: elevator-branded Marketplace Apps give farmers cash bids, offer submission, real-time chat with the merchandiser, push notifications and (since June 2021) digital signature of grain contracts; grower portals/apps show scale tickets, contracts and account information pulled from the elevator's grain accounting system. Elevator integrations: apps connect to the merchandiser's cmdtyView Pro desktop and to grain-accounting ERPs including AgVision (Feb 2024 partnership), Agvance (SSI) and AgTrax (vendor partner pages exist but could not be fetched). Weather: the Total Grain Marketing app lists location-specific weather alongside futures data and USDA news. AI: a third-party profile describes 'Carl', an AI assistant inside cmdtyView for commodity-market questions (merchandiser-facing; unverified from vendor page). Mobile: cmdtyView (free iOS app, v1.0.3 2024-10-02) and dozens of elevator-branded apps published under Barchart's App Store account.

Bushel (elevator app)

Bushel, Inc.. 3 of 10 capabilities described, 5 partial. Pricing: not published.

Elevator-side app (free to the farmer, paid by the grain buyer/retailer): branded app and web portal showing local cash bids and basis for corn, soybeans and wheat, contracts, scale tickets, work orders, prepaids, bookings, invoices and commodity balances; eSign of contracts, invoices and scale tickets; farmers can pay invoices and receive payments through embedded Bushel Pay; agribusinesses manage grain offers via Bushel Trade. Bushel states 3,500+ grain and ag-retail facilities are on its network (50%+ of US grain origination) and ADM and Cargill moved customers onto Bushel after the GrainBridge acquisition. Related farmer-paid product Bushel Farm (formerly FarmLogs) adds field records, per-field profitability, rainfall notifications, marketing/unsold-bushel tracking and integrations with John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView - these account for the 'partial' marks in accounting, agronomy, inputs, weather and equipment. ERP integrations exist (vendor links an 'ERPs' partner category) but specific systems are not named on pages fetched.

CargillAg app

Cargill, Incorporated. 3 of 10 capabilities described, 0 partial. Pricing: not published.

Grain marketing = view Cargill cash bids and futures, place firm offers, sell 24/7 via flat-price, basis or futures-only contracts, set futures/basis on open contracts, view contracts/scale tickets/settlements, request payment or defer payment, submit flex scale tickets (vendor 'Go Digital' page). Elevator integration is Cargill-only (it is Cargill's own account app). Cargill Elevate+ is a separate enhanced advisory tier (market insights, tailored cash grain recommendations) that Cargill says includes access to Bushel Farm farm-management software. Mobile app on Apple App Store and Google Play. No AI assistant, accounting, agronomy, weather or equipment features described.
