I'll be your Huckleberry here. Price at Harvest, I received roughly $10 Contracted beans a few days ago for $12.02 Let's just call it an even $2. I think your 2% shrink is too high. I always figure it as -.10 I have only held the beans for roughly 4 months, before they were contracted. I don't know on what basis you're figuring your interest expense, but using your method it would be .225. I'll give you the cost of trucking at .15 I think your bin cost is too high. I figure .10 So the deductions I figure are -.57.5 So net of $11.42. So, my $10,000 bu last fall, $100,000. My $10,000 bu right now, $114,200. Now, I haven't sold it all at $12, so that's speculative. Might be more, might be less, I suppose. But I'm ok with it. And I got beans harvested when the lines at the elevator were 3 hours long and closed all weekend. Scenario 4 is completely speculative and only works in hindsight. No thanks. |
