Not a farmer, so take this with a grain of salt. But farmers have to take their grain to specific places to sell it. The prices being paid for the product is publicly available. So the farmers harvest their grain, store it in silos, and wait for the price to go up. Then they truck it to the purchase place and unload it. When they are buying, they will buy an “unlimited” amount. You don’t worry about showing up and they say they already have enough. The grain is dumped into these areas prepared for it, but when those areas are full, they just dump it on the ground.
