Does it justify today`s prices? If you go from 2011 to 2016 the US carryover and world carryovers were a bit lower than the 21-22 projection and those were mostly lean years . Compare 2013-14 US carry was 100M bu and world was 500MMT 2018-19 was 1.1 billion bushel US and 110 MMT global (firing on all cylinders for yields that year) 2021-22 is 285 billion bushel Global at 90 MMT.
Not that I`m complaining but from a inventory standpoint on beans, we are similar to 2014. There must be a lot of risk premium in the market.
Oh Bobby! This cattle buyer was cashing bum checks at Tama, he was a regular at Algona with a girlfriend half his age.
