FarmOS Marketing

Grain marketing positions, contracts, deliveries, settlements, inventory, and revenue analysis for a corn/soybean operation with 3 entities across ~4,000 acres.

When This Skill Triggers

• "What's our marketing position?"
• "How much corn have we sold?"
• "Show the dashboard summary"
• "Any deliveries coming up?"
• "What's our average corn price?"
• "Bushels remaining to sell?"
• "Revenue by entity"
• "Show open contracts"
• "Basis levels?"
• "Settlement history"

Data Completeness

1. Dashboard endpoint truncates results. Use /api/integration/dashboard for summary stats only — NOT for listing positions, deliveries, or settlements.
2. Always state the total count of records returned: "Found 23 open positions totaling 145,000 bushels of corn."
3. If a query returns suspiciously few results, say so: "I'm only seeing 3 positions — that may be incomplete."
4. Use authenticated endpoints for complete data — integration endpoints are for quick summaries, not full listings.
5. If an endpoint fails, report the failure rather than silently showing partial data.

Authentication

This skill accesses protected FarmOS endpoints that require a JWT token.

To get a token: Run the auth helper with the appropriate role:

TOKEN=$(~/clawd/scripts/farmos-auth.sh admin)
# or for manager-level access:
TOKEN=$(~/clawd/scripts/farmos-auth.sh manager)

To use the token: Include it as a Bearer token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://100.102.77.110:8013/api/endpoint

Token expiry: Tokens last 15 minutes. If you get a 401 response, request a new token.

Role mapping: Check the sender's role in ~/.clawdbot/farmos-users.json. If the user is not admin or manager, tell them they don't have access to marketing data.

API Base

http://100.102.77.110:8013

Integration Endpoints (No Auth — for cross-module data)

These provide summary data without authentication. Use for quick lookups and cron jobs.

Dashboard Summary

GET /api/integration/dashboard

Returns: Contract counts, bushels sold, delivery schedule stats, recent settlements.

Revenue Summary

GET /api/integration/revenue?crop_year=2025&entity_id=1

Returns: Revenue by crop (corn/soybeans), by month, contracted vs projected. Use for cash flow analysis.

Entities

GET /api/integration/entities

Returns: All farm entities with id, name, type, short_code. Use to map entity names to IDs.

Fields with Ownership

GET /api/integration/fields?entity_id=1

Returns: Fields with acres, entity ownership shares.

Acres Summary

GET /api/integration/acres-summary

Returns: Total acres by entity with field counts and ownership shares.

Settlements by Month

GET /api/integration/settlements-by-month?crop_year=2025&entity_id=1

Returns: Monthly settlement amounts for cash flow timing.

Crop Years

GET /api/integration/crop-years

Returns: Available crop years with current year flag.

Authenticated Endpoints (JWT Required)

Dashboard Summary (Full)

GET /api/dashboard/summary?crop_year=2025 Authorization: Bearer {token} Requires: manager+

Returns comprehensive marketing dashboard:

• Crop year settings (expected yield, expected price per crop)
• Per-entity, per-crop breakdown:
  • total_bushels, hedged/sold/basis/hta/open bushels
  • percent_marketed
  • contracted_revenue, projected_revenue, settled_revenue
  • needs_bushel_transfer warnings
• Totals by crop

This is the primary endpoint for "how are we positioned?" questions.

Positions (Contracts)

GET /api/positions?crop_year=2025 Authorization: Bearer {token} Requires: manager+

Query params: crop_year, crop (corn|soybeans), entity_id, status (open|fulfilled|cancelled), type (Hedge|Cash Sale|Basis|HTA)

Returns: List of marketing positions/contracts with:

• contract_number, crop, type, entity
• quantity (bushels), entry_price, basis
• delivery_start, delivery_end, buyer
• status, lifecycle info

Positions Export

GET /api/positions/export?crop_year=2025 Authorization: Bearer {token} Requires: manager+

Returns: CSV export of all positions.

Deliveries (Scale Tickets)

GET /api/deliveries?crop_year=2025 Authorization: Bearer {token}

Returns: Delivery records with ticket numbers, dates, quantities, moisture, test weight.

Settlements (Payments)

GET /api/settlements?crop_year=2025 Authorization: Bearer {token}

Returns: Settlement records — payments received from buyers.

Inventory

GET /api/inventory?crop_year=2025 Authorization: Bearer {token}

Returns: Current grain inventory status — what's in bins vs sold vs delivered.

Crop Year Settings

GET /api/crop-year-settings?crop_year=2025 Authorization: Bearer {token}

Returns: Expected yield and expected price per crop for the year. These drive projected revenue and percent marketed calculations.

Key Concepts

• Position types: Hedge (futures only), Cash Sale (flat price), Basis (basis only), HTA (futures locked, basis open)
• Percent marketed: bushels_sold / total_expected_bushels x 100
• Entity: A farm legal entity (e.g., "Fields of Dreams", "ILMG"). Each has its own positions and production.
• Crop year: The year the crop is grown (2025 = planted spring 2025, harvested fall 2025, may deliver into 2026).
• Bushel transfers (PIK): When one entity is oversold, bushels transfer from another entity to cover.

Cross-Module Context

The team agent's marketing access is read-only and logistics-scoped. Use it to connect delivery deadlines to field operations:

Marketing → Field Ops:

• During harvest and delivery windows, check delivery schedules when discussing field work priorities. Delivery commitments determine which fields get harvested first: "There's a 5,000-bu bean delivery to ADM due next week. Priority on the bean fields."
• When crew asks about harvest sequencing or field priorities, reference delivery deadlines and contract obligations.
• Flag tight timelines: "Cargill delivery window closes in 10 days and you've only delivered 60% of that contract. Might want to bump those fields up."

Marketing → Equipment:

• During harvest, connect delivery deadlines to equipment availability: "You've got 3 deliveries due this week — make sure the grain cart and trucks are ready."

Don't cross-reference marketing on every field ops question. This matters during harvest, delivery windows, and when logistics questions come up. Not during routine spraying or maintenance.

Usage Notes

• Always include crop_year parameter (default to current: 2025, use 2026 when appropriate).
• The dashboard summary is the best "big picture" endpoint.
• For specific contract questions, use positions with filters.
• Revenue data from integration endpoints doesn't require auth — good for cron jobs and summaries.
• When discussing positions, include the entity name, crop, type, quantity, and price.
• Flag any positions marked as "needs_bushel_transfer" — this means an entity has sold more than it can produce.
• The entities are: check /api/integration/entities for current list and IDs.
