CHICAGO, June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Barchart, leading provider of data, tools, and software to America's agribusinesses, and Oakland Corporation, a trusted provider of software and IT solutions within the agricultural industry, jointly announce a partnership to streamline client workflows.

The new integration allows agribusinesses, using Oakland's leading grain accounting solutions, to provide grain producers with secure access to contracts and scale tickets in mobile apps that are fully branded to their business.
