        So they are:

        A) Hoping you're too dumb to calculate it.

        B) Hoping they can create a program for you to use so it gives an fudged lower number.

        C) Hoping you don't give a shit at all and will produce whatever they want for whatever price.

            All of the above. Most don’t know any of this.

              Just grow it, everyone else in the Indusrtry will give you and leave you with enough to want to do it again.
              You're the hub of the "big wheel".

              Farming is more addicting than meth.

              You're nothing more than the Industry Pimp's "Hoar"

                Maybe it's to generate a list of who to text low ball offers to? - those ticking option 3 will be contacted first!

                  what if a farmer responded to Cargill by saying my breakeven on wheat is 6.75/BU, yet there bid is $5.75. What would Cargill do, pay the $6.75?

                  Now if i tell Cargill what my breakeven is, will they tell me what there margin is based on their current bids?

                  insane industry.

                    Tell them break even is Cargil price plus 20%. See if they have a morality clause kick in.Taking bets.
