A farmer produces a harvest and then sticks it in the granary. I would assume that he knows how much he put in there, but then what, is there a broker that manages the sale of it afterwards? Are all the grains the same? What if farmer A has better grain than farmer B and then they're all mixed in there. What happens then? I'm in Illinois currently in and I'm in a town that has a bunch of granaries and it got me thinking about how it all works.

They hold in silos till the price goes up. If they can't get rid of it, or it rots, most collect an insurance check.

No wonder good bread's so expensive. But you can't blame them to be honest.
