Found out today that a great way to age myself was to mention trading PIK Certificates. Those of us that lived through them and managed to be alive to talk about it consider it to be a sign of great strength and never asking why, but just doing it because it was a money pit.

What a difference a day makes. PNW last night said, "I need soybeans." Pumped up the basis 13 cents for November. And suddenly, BN secondary shuttle freight for returns also came alive last night at: Bid +$400 over and offered +$700 over.

Flashback Friday. It was October 2016 when I first taught my twin G-sons to sing “Go #Cubs Go” & they were quite intent on learning it. They eventually mastered all the words and sang it every game right up through the @Cubs World Series victory. And they are still singing it!

To all the weekly crop progress & monthly USDA report haters, I have spent 30 plus years in AG & regardless whether you think they are bogus, fake or a farce, the market trades them like it or not. Do I always agree? No. But I still respect the USDA regardless. Go ahead, @ me.

Heard this today & saying the situation on the river is bad is certainly an understatement. Some barges were already loaded with drafts deeper than the reduced drafts and require cargo to be removed so not to exceed new max draft. I’ll have a story ready on Mon with more news.

So many moving images remembering our fallen heroes at Normandy Beach on D-Day June 6, 1044. This is perhaps one of the most moving. On Peace Day 2013, 9000 silhouettes of soldiers were etched into the sand on Normandy beach. This was to commemorate the fallen from D-Day WWII.
