Who we are

The GrainBridge concept began development in 2006 and later became a reality when founded in December of 2007. GrainBridge is a Nebraska based company located in Omaha. We are a melting pot of agricultural businessmen, farmers, software developers and technology engineers focused on developing powerful, web based software and technology. Our dedicated team works together on a daily basis to improve the way people in agriculture manage, communicate and profit.

What we do

Our employees share a love for agriculture, a passion for innovation, and a desire to make a difference. We provide innovative solutions for our clients that help with management, collaboration and communications. We provide Software as a Service (SaaS) which is another way of saying we build web based software. Our flagship products help those involved in agriculture plan, manage, communicate and trade. We have been fortunate to provide services to some of the best agricultural businesses in the Midwest including a number of Farm Credit associations, Interstate Mills, United Farmers Coop, Kluis Commodities to name a few.

Why we do it

Demand for agricultural commodities continues to increase both domestically and internationally, which in-turn is causing extreme price volatility across all segments of the agricultural industry thus, a growing need for improvements in managing risk and communicating with business partners. This is where GrainBridge makes a difference.

Risk Management Technology for Producers

Professional agrimanagement begins with creating detailed crop and livestock profiles. These profiles set the foundation for an advanced understanding of your business’s production potential. Profiles may be managed on a whole operation basis, or they may be broken down by crop fields and livestock pens. By allowing users to create as many profiles as desired for a wide array of crop and livestock types, GrainBridge sets new standards in versatility and flexibility for agribusiness management

Successful producers create a comprehensive plan each year. Beyond the basic inputs that go into the profiles, there are additional factors that must be accounted for in a thorough planning process. GrainBridge allows you to enter your operation’s expenses, target profit goals, and projected yields at market prices. These inputs help create a benchmark for your operation to market against. The Target Planning tools allow you to more accurately track your business’s net position throughout the year and adjust your plans accordingly.
