I'm not a trader, but I am a farmer and I pay close enough attention to the weather to know which way the wind is blowing. I don't understand how feed can be cheap when there's a national call for hay, the fires in the west, floods in the midwest, fires in FL, and drought in the southwest have basically made this a breakeven year at best for the producer. What don't I I see here?

the rationale behind your trade requires deep pockets There is nothing that
tells you to be a buyer. If you are so convinced buy options and forget
about the trade for now.
