Re: Language question.
I'd maybe go for this:
Typically, farmgate prices settle on a monthly basis, while commodity prices settle on a weekly basis.
I know the repetition of 'basis' might look a little clumsy, but it means there's no chance of confusion.

Thank you both. I'll go for Penk's suggestion. The repetition was what I wanted to avoid.
