"Smartest Bid Alert System in Australia

November 23, 2011

The Bid Alert System on the Clear Grain Exchange provides you smart and intelligent information when you need it.
•
Trade Alerts let you know what is selling and at what price are available via SMS.

•
Bid Alerts let you know what price buyers are prepared to pay via SMS.


Your mobile phone number the Clear Bid Alert system is using comes directly from your NGR information.

Trades Alerts happen in real time when a trade occurs on the Clear Grain Exchange. Trades alerts only target you if you've got the same grain in warehouse.

Bid alerts start at 1.30pm and will notify you of the highest bid entered into the Clear Grain Exchange for your warehoused grain. If a superior bid is entered into the Clear Grain Exchange by the next time marker, you will be notifed again via another bid alert. The specific time markers are 2.30, 3.30, 4.30, 5.30 EST. This aims to keep you abreast of any price rises occuring throughout the day.

If the price does not move higher throughout the day you won't get another text message after 1.30pm.

The bid alerts are also compared against the prices collected from Profarmer Grain's Daily Price Service. If the bid is deemed outside the tollerance against the Profarmer Grain's Daily Indicative Best, you won't recieve a text message. This ensures you only receive text messages when the bids are competitive.

You can of course turn the messages off if you don't want to receive them from the settings page within your account. You can also only have 1 mobile listed per account.

You must have activated a Clear Grain Exchange account to receive text messages."

"Secure marketplace for Chickpeas now on Clear Grain Exchange

November 09, 2011

Clear Grain Exchange has announced the addition of Chickpeas to the list of tradable commodities on its secure on-line trading platform.

“The addition of Chickpeas and other pulses provides growers with more payment security and a convenient way to market while giving buyers better access to the commodity” said Pat O’Shannassy, General Manager of Australian Agribusiness for NZX Limited*.

Marketing pulses can be difficult for both growers and buyers in terms of market access and payment security, which inhibits the growth of these commodities.
Mr O’Shannassy said “Our focus has been to deliver growers a secure market place with fast payments for their product.
Growers are provided with an easy and convenient way to find buyers, while the Clear Grain Exchange gives buyers improved access to more growers – the outcome is a win-win for both sides”.

"Not getting paid for a season’s crop is devastating for a farm business. Fortunately this is now completely avoidable with the Clear Grain Exchange Secure Payment Mechanism” Mr O’Shannassy said.

Trading on the Clear Grain Exchange means growers do not lose Title to their grain until the payment is received. Payments are received by [growers] within 7 business days.

Well known crop forecaster, Gavin Warburton from Australian Crop Forecasters, is expecting Australia to produce around 1.7mmt of Pulses this harvest including approximately 550kt of Chickpeas.

Clear Grain Exchange has traded over 700,000 warehoused tonnes with an average of 6 business days and has over 140 listed buyers.

Clear Grain Exchange also has over 16,000 listed growers and has performed over 9000 successful trades since 2008 worth $A160m."

NO NEED to re-invent the Wheel Parsley!

Some one has a great wheel working perfectly in Australia. The CWB needs to link into this chain... and watch the business develop and grow!

Merry Christmas! "

Looks simple, but .....

[jimbobobaroo]

Didn't we use to have a live bidding system in place for
non board grains years ago? I used to have this
Globalink? system that had this kind of thing on it.

I kind of like the looks of the ClearGrain setup.

[malleefarmer]

yeah knew you put it up tom just asking again,the world is at your feet how western canadian growers move foward

[wilagro]

It'll only be good IF Tom says it will. ..otherwise NO.
Ahahahaahahhhaaahahahahaha

[malleefarmer]

what do honestly see wrong with it wilagro its just another option. Pooling wheat in australia would suggest is less than 10% of crop, foward selling using cash sales or wheat swaps from banks,follwed by some sales at harvest with remainder in 2 to 6 months after harvest.
Could be wrong but reckon cargills may have the most pooled grain in australia this year and that would be something new for them.
Any hey im not flaming you just aking a question or are you completly against any form of cash selling? Have a good xmas and enjoy time with you family and friends 36 celcius here so not hot for xmas

[wilagro]

malleefarmer: Oh, I don't see anything wrong with the Clear system at all. I was just rattling Tom's chain as nothing is worthwhile unless HE okays it.

[TOM4CWB]

Ahhh Wilagro.

So Your world would be boring if I didn't respond to your posts?

Looks like your lifes purpose is to shadow me on Agriville... all this personal attention could rupture my ego Wilagro!!!

Cheers!
