No further evidence is needed that grain traders are the monkeys of the trading universe than backwardation and contango Every time it comes up, guaranteed every grain trader googles it to make sure that backwardation is an inverted market and contango is a carry

Now that the dust is settling, it’s time imo to talk about the good things this administration has done, namely they’ve been wildly successful on the border Regardless of the direction of the country going forward, this should remain a bipartisan priority For GOP-it’s national security For the DNC-it’s the fastest way to protect the poor and lower middle class jobs

Have you considered being entry level with 5 years experience? -Chet
Inexperienced grain buyers suck. If you’re an elevator or end user DO NOT let a buyer talk to farmers unless they have a good understanding of futures markets and basis.

You used to have to search forum after forum online to find useful information Now you get to ask AI and get all of the wrong answers at once. The pedantic attitude is just the bonus

There will be news about Trump and Epstein/Milania leaked within 12 hours, and within 15 minutes of the last poll closing Tuesday we will drop bombs on Iran USA/Israel Negotiation 101
BREAKING: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran and Washington have now reached what he described as a “two-day plan” for de-escalation. “On the first day, the U.S. implements a set of measures, and on the second day, the Strait of Hormuz reopens and transit returns to its previous state.” He said Iran is demanding the cancellation of new sanctions imposed after the memorandum of understanding, a reduction of U.S. military forces to levels before the war, the lifting of the naval blockade, and implementation of previously expected oil-sanctions exemptions.

Goats are dumb Have 36 linear feet of grain feeders, doing a flush 4 separate. 2 10ft long 2 8 ft long These ass hats crowd rush one feeder, then move to the next, then the next, then the next Obviously I’m the problem, but it doesn’t make me hate them less

The good thing about mixed soybeans vs yellow soybeans is this was all avoidable The bad thing is we didn’t avoid it The worst thing is Corteva shills telling us it’s not actually a big deal, as they face zero responsibility
