I think you mentioned selling some soybeans to the river, correct? If so, what's a typical "good" soybean basis down there?

I rolled at Nov hedge to July recently to pick up $.35. The plan is to haul some beans down to the cities and bring back a few loads of urea.

I'm targeting a $-.30 basis for early June delivery.

$10.05 + $.35 carry - $-.30 basis = $10.05 cash. Trucking cost will be $500ish (breakeven on the basis).

Bought some urea for $200 picked up earlier this summer and that was about a $70/ton improvement over local. All-in-all, looking at a $600/truck profit. Not a huge profit given our volume but I'm going to take pleasure in not being captive to the PNW!!

Sorry for the ramble....just curious if you ever haul beans down there?
