This is amazing. In case you weren’t aware, onion futures trading has been banned in the US since 1958.
In the 50s, two traders cornered the onion market, then dumped their supply to crash prices while betting against them.
Onion prices fell 96%, devastating farmers, so congress responded by banning onion futures trading, and the ban remains in place today.
I actually bought an onion future in a yellow onion a couple of months ago via the San Francisco Onion Futures Company and look forward to my delivery next month

Where there’s an arb, there’s a way.
1.852B lbs of UCO + tallow imports in two months.
45Z clarity. A 50% Canadian UCO tariff. EPA changing the math again.
Record mandates don’t guarantee soybean oil wins—or U.S. gallons stay here.

JP Morgan are saying this month pipelines and refineries start shutting down. Absolute energy apocalypse. It will take years to get back to normal. 🛢️📈📈📈
BREAKING: World oil inventories are projected to hit their operational floor of 6.8 billion barrels this month if the Strait of Hormuz stays shut, per JPMorgan.
Below this level, pipelines can't maintain pressure and refineries start failing, regardless of what price oil is trading at.
This would mark the first time in recorded history the world has had to worry about physical oil availability, not just price.

This is one of the things I love most about ag. When one of their own needs help, farm communities show up. No questions asked. They just show up.
Prayers for the Cotton family.
Farmers helping farmers. Growers across our #HillsboroFactory district harvested more than 420 acres of sugarbeets Wednesday for fellow grower Bill Cotton, who is fighting stage 4 brain cancer. Around 80 trucks, 14 harvesters, and 11 toppers showed up. #Harvest26
