Grain markets follow specific holiday schedules throughout the year. When markets close, the Bushel platform automatically pauses automated cash bid text notifications. Use this guide to understand when your farmers can expect a break in their message flow.
Prerequisites
Access to the Bushel Website Management tool.
Holiday Schedule
On the following dates, markets are closed and no automated cash bid texts will be sent from the Bushel platform:
| Holiday Name | 2026 Date |
|---|---|
| Martin Luther King's Birthday | January 19 |
| President's Day | February 16 |
| Good Friday | April 3 |
| Memorial Day | May 25 |
| Juneteenth | June 19 |
| Independence Day | July 3 |
| Labor Day | September 7 |
| Thanksgiving Day | November 26 |
| Christmas Day | December 25 |
Summary
Your automated bid texts will resume as normal the next business day following a holiday. This ensures your farmers receive the most accurate pricing data without unnecessary notifications during market downtime.
⚠️ Note: If you need to send a custom announcement to your farmers during these dates, you can still use the manual notification tools within your Customer Portal.
