Managing it requires more than just a spreadsheet—it requires a precision-engineered system that  connects feed operations with the accounting office.  > > Welcome to the **FLS Grain Bank**, our comprehensive solution for tracking, valuing, and auditing owner-contributed feed. Whether you are a feedlot manager or a producer, this system is designed to provide 100% transparency for every kernel of grain in your inventory. > > --- > > ### What is a "Grain Bank"? > > A Grain Bank allows producers to deliver their own feed components (like corn, barley, or silage) to the feedlot to be used specifically for their cattle. The feedlot "banks" these assets and draws them down as the animals are fed. Tracking this manually is a nightmare—doing it through FLS is a breeze. > > ### 1. Real-Time Inventory Visibility > > The **Grain Bank List** screen serves as your mission control. It provides a live, sortable, and filterable view of all banked assets. > > - **Owner-Centric Tracking**: Every entry is tied to a specific contact. You can instantly see exactly how much inventory belongs to each owner. > - **Component-Level Grain Accounts**: We don’t just track "feed." We track individual components—Distillers, Syrup, HL Mo Corn, and more. Each component has its own dedicated ledger. > - **Dual-Unit Precision**: The system is built for international operations. It handles **Lbs/Kgs** for daily feeding and **Tons/Tonnes** for inventory management. All calculations and header titles update dynamically based on your regional settings. > > ![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-39-43-9245-AM.png?width=1163&height=250&name=image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-39-43-9245-AM.png) > > ### 2. Financial Transparency & Market Valuation > > Managing a grain bank isn't just about weight; it's about value. Our system provides deep financial insights directly in the list view: > > - **Unit Price & Total Value**: See the current market value of your banked assets at a glance. This helps producers understand their equity and helps managers with financial reporting. > - **Lock Price Protection**: In a volatile market, knowing your costs is vital. The "Lock Price" column identifies components where the price has been fixed, allowing you to shield your operation from sudden market spikes. > - **Currency & Format Support**: All values are localized and formatted for professional financial reporting, ensuring they are ready for your accountant. > > ![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-39-08-9538-AM.png?width=657&height=714&name=image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-39-08-9538-AM.png) > > ### 3. The Management Lifecycle (Intake to Audit) > > The FLS Grain Bank isn't just a static list; it's an active management tool. > > - **Receiving Inventory**: The dedicated **Receive** function allows for quick entry of incoming truckloads, instantly updating the bank balance and generating a digital record. > - **The Transaction Log (The Gold Standard for Audits)**: Transparency breeds trust. Every movement of grain—every delivery, every feeding, and every manual adjustment—is timestamped and logged. If an owner has a question about a balance, you can pull up the **Log** and show them every single transaction that led to the current total. > - **Digital Receipts**: Never lose a scale ticket again. The **Receipts** button provides instant access to the documentation for every load brought into the yard. > > ![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-43-24-7522-AM.png?width=657&height=735&name=image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-43-24-7522-AM.png) > > ![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-43-07-2939-AM.png?width=892&height=251&name=image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-43-07-2939-AM.png) > > ![](https://feedlotsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-44-11-2744-AM.png?width=1115&height=303&name=image-png-Mar-10-2026-05-44-11-2744-AM.png) > >   > > ### 4. Optimized for the Modern Professional > > We’ve built this system to work as hard as you do, wherever you are. > > - **Powerful Search & Filter**: With our server-side search, you can find a specific owner or component in a database of thousands in milliseconds. > - **Export for Excellence**: Need the data elsewhere? One-click exports to **Excel** allow for deep analytical work, while **PDF** exports provide clean, professional documents for owner meetings or tax filing. > - **Smart Mobile Interface**: Agriculture happens in the field, not just behind a desk.

Administrative tools like "Add," "Edit," and "Delete" are restricted to users with the proper permissions, while read-only access can be granted to those who just need to check a balance. > > ### 5. How to Launch Grain Bank > > - Go to Menu Finance =\> Grain Banks > >   > > ### The Bottom Line > > The **FLS Grain Bank** turns a complex logistical challenge into a competitive advantage.
