Our service

Seasonal cashflow without disrupting your grainmarketing.

OttleyCommodities provides growers with the option to access advance payments againstgrain stored on-farm, whether sold or unsold.

By registering your business and nominated on-farm storages, you'll be ready toreceive payment as soon as grain is loaded into your storage, straight off theheader.

The grain remains in your storage and under your control, allowing you tocontinue marketing your grain when the timing is right for your business.

Our Grain Advance is not crop finance or an increase to your existing bankingfacilities. It simply provides another option to access working capital usingthe value already sitting in your on-farm storage.

Our solution helps address one of the biggest challenges in broadacre farming, seasonalcashflow, while allowing growers to continue marketing grain into higher-valuedeferred delivery periods.

“From our beginnings as beef cattle producers and livestock agents, we have been passionate about playing our part to advance the Australian Livestock industry”.
