📐 How Net Grain Price Is Calculated Total Deductions = Freight + Levy + Quality Discount
Get delivered price — from buyer's contract or quoteCalculate freight — distance × rate per km ÷ tonnesAdd levies and handling — GRDC levy $0.88/t, port fees $5-15/tSubtract quality discounts — moisture, screenings, protein📊 Worked Example Wheat delivered price $350/t. Freight $40/t. GRDC levy $0.88/t, port handling $9/t. Moisture discount $5/t.
Total deductions = $40 + $9.88 + $5 = $54.88/t
Always ask buyers for a net price estimate. A $5/t higher delivered price with $10/t more freight is actually worse.

How do grain quality discounts work? Moisture: $1-5/t per 1% over standard. Screenings: $5-20/t for >5%. Low protein: $5-15/t per 1% below grade. Stained grain: $10-50/t discount.
Should I store grain or sell at harvest? Calculate storage cost ($3-8/t/month) vs expected price increase. Historically, prices rise $5-15/t from harvest to off-season. If storage costs $10/t for 3 months and price rises $20/t, storing pays.
