Intake runs through the marketing season, from the winter harvest.
Payment is against a producer price gazetted for the season, not haggled, and settled in US dollars in recent seasons. Check the current price and the payment terms before you deliver — both are re-set each year.
One buyer at a published price — nothing is haggled. Register first, deliver dry and clean, and expect the load to be graded on arrival.
Deliver dry, clean and bagged grain. Moisture and foreign matter are what the grading discounts, and a load that fails on moisture is turned back at the weighbridge. Register as a grower before you arrive, and ask about the ward buying point nearest you — it will almost always be closer than the depot, and it buys on the same terms.
