Comparing Texas Panhandle cash bids
This benchmark describes the Central Panhandle market. North Panhandle, South Panhandle and South Plains feedlot dealer bids carry their own freight and basis, so compare them to this figure only after adjusting for delivery point.
Confirm the buyer, delivery point, grain grade, delivery period, unit and deductions. A delivered-truck regional average may differ from a farm pickup offer after freight, shrink or quality adjustments. This page does not list individual elevator bids.
The source reader retains a validated report with its original date when a refresh fails. A daily report older than four calendar days is marked “Older report.” Neither a page load nor a failed refresh makes an old observation current.

Keep cash marketing and the program decision separate
For base-acre decisions, use the ARC/PLC calculator by county with national MYA scenarios. The Texas ARC vs PLC guide explains the inputs, and the sign-up checklist separates the 2026 and 2027 windows.
For crop acres, costs and water, open the planting plan.
Common questions
Is this today’s Texas Panhandle cash bid?
The displayed observation is a dated USDA AMS Central Panhandle, Texas benchmark for US #1 grain sorghum, bulk, delivered truck. It is not an executable bid from your elevator or coverage of every West Texas county. Check the observation date, report status and your buyer’s current terms.
Are the sorghum prices per bushel or per hundredweight?
This selected Texas Daily Grain Bids series is published in dollars per bushel. No conversion from hundredweight and no corn-derived basis estimate is used here. Match the unit on your buyer’s bid before comparing.
Can this price go into my ARC/PLC calculation?
A local cash price and the national marketing-year average (MYA) price are different measures. ARC/PLC comparisons use program MYA assumptions and FSA records. Do not treat the cash benchmark as a forecast of the final MYA price or a program payment.
