AgVend and Contango Partner to Support Originators With Cash Market Intelligence Within Grain Workflows
Integration surfaces grower opportunities and competitive bid insights directly inside AgVend
Austin, TX, March 23, 2026 – AgVend and Contango today announced an expanded strategic partnership that embeds competitive bid intelligence and probability-based grower leads directly into AgVend’s grain workflows. The integration connects Contango’s market insights with the tools originators use daily to manage accounts, grain bids, and grower relationships, helping teams identify the right opportunities and act faster during competitive market rallies.
“Retailers and grain elevators need intelligence embedded directly into the workflow where decisions happen. They don’t need more dashboards,” said Tracy Linbo, Chief Commercial Officer at AgVend. “By bringing Contango’s market intelligence into AgVend, grain teams can speed up time-sensitive decisions with clearer visibility into market signals and focus their time on the growers most likely to move grain.”
Grain origination teams are under constant pressure to support the grower with competitive bids while building strong relationships. Integrating this intelligence directly into the origination workflow allows teams to spend less time piecing together fragmented information and more time engaging growers and capturing bushels.
“Our origination team needs to make quick decisions without bouncing between disconnected tools,” said Collin Graves, General Manager, FS Grain. “By combining Contango’s lead intelligence and competitive bid visibility inside AgVend, our team can focus on the right farmers at the right time and respond to market moves much faster.”
“Agribusiness needs technology partners to work together. We are in no danger of running out of valuable problems to solve for customers. Open collaboration with a joint vision and a shared roadmap will create significantly more value for customers over time,” said Ben Brame, CEO of Contango.
The integration is available at no additional cost for AgVend retail partners who already license Contango. For those interested in learning more, please visit https://www.agvend.com/ or connect with the Contango team at https://www.contango.live/.
