You are correct, there will be lower market rates at certain times of the year.

Those farmers who dont have the capital to save their crop until prices are high will have to sell when inventory is high and prices are low. But in when prices rise in February etc the prices will rise and farmers who can weather the storm will cash in.

The simple fact is when you drive down a dirt road you see alot of less normal bins and alot more hopper bins, hopper bins is a great guage of how much money a farmer has because they are very expensive for the extra volume they produce and the only benefit is making the farmers life easier.
