Storage charges on all grain will be $.05/month. A minimum of 3 months storage on all grain. Any grain sold prior to being in storage for 3 months will be charged the balance of the 3 month minimum. Annually, on October 1st, grain storage balances more than 5,000 bushels will incur an additional $.05/month (in addition to the otherwise normal monthly charge) storage charge for those bushels on hand on October 1st which are from previous crop years, no matter when delivered to Sparta Coop.  That additional storage charge will be for a minimum of three months (October - December) whether those bushels continue in storage during that period or not.  After those three months, storage charges will revert to the normal monthly charge. 

Load Out is $.10/bu. Grain contracted to be hauled by Sparta Co-op is $.05/bu. No charge on grain sold to Sparta Co-op.
