About Farmbucks
Farmbucks is an independent grain price comparison platform built for farmers. It helps you find and compare local cash bids from hundreds of grain buyers across the U.S. and Canada.
Why Farmers Use Farmbucks
Our Story
Farmbucks was created by Lynn Dargis, a Canadian farmer and entrepreneur who understood the problem firsthand. Like many farmers, Lynn knew how time-consuming it could be to check grain prices across different buyers, websites, and delivery locations just to understand what her crop was worth.
She saw a simple but important problem: farmers needed an easier way to compare local cash bids. Grain prices can vary between buyers and locations, but that information was often scattered and difficult to track. Farmbucks was built to bring those bids together in one place, helping farmers see their local market more clearly.
Today, Farmbucks helps farmers compare cash grain bids, search nearby delivery locations, and make more informed selling decisions. In the video below, Lynn shares how Farmbucks started, the problem it was created to solve, and how farmers can use features like Search Bids to quickly find local grain pricing opportunities.

Press Coverage
Farmbucks is making news headlines as an innovative digital platform transforming the agricultural sector. Here are some of the prominent press features and media profiles tracking our mission to simplify grain marketing across North America...
How We Source Our Data
Farmbucks collects grain price data from market data partners, direct buyer sources, and verified farmer-submitted reports. We clean, normalize, and organize bids by grain, grade, delivery period, location, and currency. Because grain prices change quickly, users should always confirm final price and delivery terms directly with the buyer before making a sale.
Premier Market Partnerships
We integrate high-level market intelligence from global leaders like Barchart and DTN. This ensures our users have access to professional-grade futures and cash bid data.
Direct Buyer Integration
We work directly with grain buyers across North America. By establishing these direct lines, we provide localized pricing that reflects the real-time needs of elevators and processing plants in your specific region.
Verified Farmer Reports
To capture the "boots on the ground" reality of the market, we incorporate reports from our network of verified farmers. This adds a layer of transparency to local "special" pricing and off-menu bids that traditional aggregators often miss.
The Farmbucks Data Pledge: Your Search is Your Secret
We pull market bids from across North America to give you an edge, not to take it away. While we aggregate cash bids and basis levels to show you the best opportunities, that data flow is strictly a one-way street.
We do not sell your search history, watchlists, price alerts, or location data to grain buyers, commercial elevators, or data brokers.
Farmbucks gives you a market edge. We'll never compromise that edge by selling your data to the companies buying your grain.
