Fargo-based Bushel and StoneX have formed a new partnership aimed at giving grain companies a more connected and efficient merchandising workflow, combining Bushel’s farmer‑facing digital tools with the StoneX Hedge platform. The companies say the integration will help merchandisers move seamlessly from offer to hedge to settlement while reducing manual work and improving data accuracy.
The partnership links key steps across the merchandising lifecycle. StoneX Hedge supports hedge execution, offer‑to‑hedge linkage and ERP‑backed contract creation, while Bushel provides farmers with mobile and web access to bids, digital offers, contracts, tickets, settlements and notifications. Together, the systems are designed to increase digital offer volume, improve hedge precision, and eliminate double entry across platforms.
“Grain companies need technology that works across both the operational side and the customer‑facing side,” said Benny Andres, vice president of product at Bushel. StoneX executives say the integration builds on strong adoption of StoneX Hedge, which has already supported hedging of more than one billion bushels in the first half of the company’s fiscal year.
The combined solution is expected to be especially valuable for mid‑ to large‑sized elevators, commercial grain companies, and co‑ops seeking to modernize origination and streamline back‑office processes. Bushel currently serves more than 100,000 farmers and 3,500 grain and ag retail facilities across the U.S. and Canada.
StoneX is a publicly traded Fortune 50 company headquartered in New York. Its more than 5,400 employees serve more than 80,000 commercial, institutional and payments clients, as well as more than 260,000 retail accounts, across more than 80 offices on six continents.
