Duey Yliniemi, General Manager at Greenstone Systems

As early adopters begin preparing for implementation, agribusiness leaders are expressing enthusiasm for the platform’s potential impact.

AgTMS is going to be a great product, and we are very excited to start utilizing the efficiency it will bring to our company.

You are combining two great products—Greenstone’s oneFreight and BulkLoads—pulling the best from each and making the final product even better.

Ryan Carwell, President of Poinsett Rice

And from a customer perspective, the value of integrated planning and communication is already resonating.

What we’ve seen so far from AgTMS aligns closely with the drivers’ communication and planning tools we’ve worked toward internally.

Some of the dispatch and scheduling capabilities have more nuance than what we had originally designed for ourselves. As the integrations come together—across oneWeigh, our third-party partners, and our direct-ship workflows—we see AgTMS moving us closer to a fully integrated system and eventually automated invoicing.

Sarah McNeil, Business Intelligence Manager at Cooperative Producers, Inc.

Powering Grain Logistics with Smart Tools

Central Marketing — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 12:55:56 +0000

The agriculture industry has always operated under pressure from shifting markets, rising costs, and tighter delivery windows. But today, those pressures are intensifying—and transportation has become the deciding factor in whether grain elevators thrive or struggle.

Why Transportation Is Now a Strategic Priority

Grain transportation is no longer just about moving product from point A to point B. Global and regional challenges—driver shortages, fleet maintenance costs, tariffs on equipment, and evolving compliance rules—are pushing costs higher while limiting delivery flexibility.

At the same time, consumer expectations around sustainability and transparency are growing. Producers now face pressure to move grain efficiently and track, optimize, and minimize their logistics footprint. For agribusinesses, transportation has shifted from being a back-office burden to a strategic lever for protecting margins, building trust, and staying competitive.

The Rising Complexity of Grain Logistics

Reliance on third-party carriers has been both a solution and a risk. While outsourcing reduces the cost of maintaining internal fleets, it introduces volatility. Carrier shortages, regional labor dynamics, and aging driver demographics make diversifying hauler networks and building resilience critical.

Meanwhile, new compliance requirements and traceability mandates add another layer of complexity. Today’s operators must be able to track every mile, match the right truck to the right load, and ensure regulatory compliance across multiple regions.

These improvements will continue making MyGrower a more innovative, faster way to support your growers, wherever the season takes them.

How Technology Enables Resilience

Transportation Management Systems (TMS) are emerging as the essential tool for navigating this complexity. By consolidating dispatch, load planning, contract management, invoicing, and compliance into a single platform, a modern TMS helps agribusinesses transform complexity into control.

Key benefits include:

Real-time GPS tracking for complete network visibility and proactive adjustments
Automated invoicing to speed reconciliation and ease back-office strain
Advanced load planning that reduces empty miles, fuel use, and wasted time.

These tools allow operators to adapt quickly, improve efficiency, and strengthen delivery reliability in a volatile market.

The Road Ahead: Sustainability and Smart Automation

Looking forward, digital transformation will only grow in importance. Artificial intelligence will drive predictive route optimization, carbon tracking will set new industry benchmarks, and automation will reduce labor demands at the scale and load-out level.

Choosing the right TMS is not just about addressing today’s inefficiencies—it’s about preparing for tomorrow’s challenges. A purpose-built solution designed for the feed and grain industry builds resilience, improves compliance, and aligns with long-term sustainability goals.

Freight: Agribusiness’s Hidden Margin Killer

Central Marketing — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:56:59 +0000

Margins in agriculture are razor-thin, and getting thinner. Rising input costs, volatile markets, and labor challenges are squeezing profitability. But there’s one cost center that quietly eats away at your bottom line and often goes unnoticed: freight.

While the industry has long prioritized production and market timing, many grain handlers and cooperatives are now realizing that transportation inefficiencies are silently dragging down their profits. For agribusinesses to stay competitive, freight can no longer be an afterthought—it must become a strategic focus.

The Overlooked Cost in Grain Logistics

Freight is one of the most significant variable costs in grain handling. Even small inefficiencies can translate into significant impacts when moving bulk commodities at scale.

Too often, freight management still looks like this:

Coordinating loads via phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets
Chasing down scale tickets and bills of lading
Lacking real-time visibility into shipments
Struggling to track actual landed cost
Significant costs relating to administrative practices in management of haulers
Rising costs in managing internal fleets
Increased insurance costs related to fleet coverage/grain movements
Lack of visibility for merchandisers in executing contract hauls and back hauls

These outdated processes don’t just slow you down—they reduce operational agility and cut into already-tight margins.

Digital Expectations Are Reshaping Supply Chains

In other industries, logistics has gone digital. Real-time load tracking, automated documentation, and seamless shipper-carrier communication are the norm. However, many operations still rely on manual systems and siloed data in agriculture.

As market volatility increases and service expectations rise, this gap becomes unsustainable.

Grain handlers, co-ops, and commodity buyers are under pressure to modernize—or risk falling behind.

The Future of Freight Is Here

Fortunately, change is underway. Transportation Management Systems (TMS) built specifically for bulk ag freight transform logistics across the grain supply chain.

With the right TMS solution, agribusinesses can:

Monitor loads in real-time from origin to destination
Eliminate paperwork and reduce manual entry
Streamline carrier coordination and route planning
Optimize freight spend with data-driven decisions
Track and improve delivery performance
Directly tie accounting and ticketing into a TMS platform

Freight is no longer just about moving grain—it’s about ensuring profitability, agility, and resilience.

Bringing Freight into Focus

At Greenstone, freight deserves a seat at the strategy table. That’s why we’re investing in tools that simplify, streamline, and future-proof ag logistics.
