Review: Great Background Information for Commodities Traders - For someone whose only role in the grain world is trading futures contracts, this book provided a wealth of educational material to better understand this market. Unlike trading stock index futures where there's 24/7 news and information coverage, the underlying factors surrounding grain futures have always been a mystery. If you're looking for a trading system, or money making formula on corn or soybeans it's not here. However, if you've ever wondered why soybean futures are more volatile than wheat, then this book does a great job explaining that phenomenon. As a trader, you'll find a few books out there on commodity spreads and even fewer on option plays. Those books will make much more sense after reading this book. The other comment I'd like to make is the good job the author and editor made addressing spelling and grammar. So many non-fiction books these days are filled with errors! Not this book. As well, the author mixed in some folksy story lines with hypothetical characters to help put some dry topics into a more colorful context. For the most part these were pretty good, however sometimes these could have been a bit more concise. Overall I was quite pleased with this book, and would recommend wholeheartedly.
Review: Amazing book; problems with kindle version - To get the kindle bits out of the way: quite a few lines in this book were randomly converted to a tiny font for some reason. I can read it. People with bad eyes won't be able to. In any case, it shouldn't look like this; I'm pretty sure the hardcover doesn't. The book itself is irreplaceable. To my knowledge, no other book covers the grains market from growing the stuff to the futures market. Various basis trades done by farmers and grain elevators are described. The biology of growing grains is described. The motivation of all market participants is described. Some of the major players are described. This book is wonderful; I wish something like it existed for all the futures markets. It's not going to give you the latest Andy Lo approved econometric models for the forward curve; this book is meant to be used by practitioners, hedgers and speculators at all levels of sophistication. It's the real nuts and bolts of the grain trade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Background Information for Commodities Traders

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a worthwhile, enjoyable read for any grain producer.
*by F***H on May 21, 2013*

This was both informative about grain marketing principles and on better understanding the overall workings of the markets. The writing style was excellent in that what could be a relatively technical, boring subject was presented in an enjoyable, fun read. i would definitely recommend this book to any producer who wants to better understand what makes the markets work, and how one might best avail of the opportunities presented to sell grain via futures, options, etc..
