Market Mania!     Due to the recent and on-going volatility of the grain markets, the resulting potential risks to our customers, and the capital-consuming margin calls, Dakota Plains has implemented a few changes with regards to grain contracts.

* We will apply deliveries to contracts first, starting with the oldest.  If you would like to cash a load at the scale, you may create a new contract, assuming you have the bushels to cover all of your obligations.

* Contract balances will be cleaned up at the end of each delivery period or before settlement is made.

* Grain contracts cannot be rolled from one crop year to the next crop year. However contracts can be rolled once within that crop year with management approval. Fees will apply.

* IF MARKETS ARE LOCKED "LIMIT DOWN" ON A COMMODITIY
WE WILL HAVE NO CASH BIDS ON THAT COMMODITY UNTIL THEY START TRADING "BETTER",
YOU MAY DO A BASIS CONTRACT OR PUT IN AN OPEN ORDER
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE GIVE US A CALL!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION *

** Please note that we trade off of the board during
ALL trading sessions, including:

Morning Session: 9:30am - 1:30pm
Evening Session: 6:00pm - 7:15am

If you have any questions what so ever please give us a call!
THANK-YOU!
