I just finished reading your last bulletin so thought I would write.  I also just finished hauling in the last of my soybeans, which I have been selling for the past 10 days.  I sold beans from about $4.05 to $4.12, which was the local high.  Yesterday beans on the close were $3.96.  I felt pretty good when one of the employees asked how I knew to sell when I did.  Then he asked, “Do you think the high is in?”  Hey, I don’t know that!  What I do know and have learned from the last few years with Gary Cram is…To sell when the basis narrows and during the post harvest rally when there is one.  I took my LDP earlier, which was $1.37, so I feel pretty good.  Like I have won at something.  You helped make my year!!
