Who’s really pulling the strings in the grain market? The Grain Mafia? The speculators? The deep state? In this episode, Roger and Jason break down the latest rally, debunk some classic misconceptions, and take a closer look at why some folks think only farmers should be allowed to trade futures. Plus, we explore why certain pricing myths just won’t die and how elevators actually manage risk (hint: it’s not by guessing the top). Tune in for the usual mix of hard truths, sarcasm, and a few hot takes that might just get us canceled on grain Twitter.

How are basis traders looking at this recent harvest and the outlook for this season? We talk through the basics of what's going on, the importance of setting boundaries with customers, the value of space, why people hate Free DP so much, why the heck people hedge in the wrong months, and the prospects of setting up our own DOGE for the grain industry. A veritable cornucopia of zeitgeist delving after our recent hiatus.

The guys are back delving the Zeitgeists on all the latest bad basis takes. We discuss how basis may not actually have destroyed the country's infrastructure, how "trading like an elevator" may not be as glamorous as people think but still worthwhile, and what the heck is basis theft and basis fraud anyways.

If you'd like to hear how Christopher Columbus and CRT are related to basis trading, this is a good episode for you.
