Finally, someone is getting rid of the fax machine — Lyndsey Smith, editor, Real Agriculture
Cargill’s AgHorizons farm customers now have the ability to sign a grain delivery contract online, the company announced today. Cargill is the first line grain company in Canada to offer the service.
Fran Burr, assistant vice-president of marketing for Cargill Limited says, “..What we’re hearing right now is that (farmers) want simplified solutions when it comes to signing grain contracts.”
The very first Canadian farmer to have the opportunity to move towards an electronic contact signing method was Ron Krahn, (@RonKrahn)farmer and co-owner of Providence Farms, Manitoba. “Being able to complete a contract after business hours and knowing the transaction is completed gives peace of mind,” Krahn . “I did our first e-signature in our farm office and it couldn’t get more convenient than that.”
The new online e-signature service offered by Cargill provides farmers with the ability to sign agreements anytime, anywhere and eliminates the need for faxes and making business transactions.
To sign-up for the program, customers should get in touch with their local Cargill representative or location or by visiting www.cargillag.ca.
