We are mid size co-op in North Central, Ohio. We handle approximately 50 million bus. of grain a year and have approximately 28 million bus. of storage. I just wanted express my concern for any unintended consequences of implementing rules that will affect our business on a daily basis, that were meant to be applied to speculators. Specifically the ability to pre-hedge anticipated purchases, managing spread risk, and exchange futures vs cash. I want to express my support of the letters sent in to you from NGFA on Feb. 10th & August 4th. Our only goal is to have a transparent and liquid system that works, so that we can manage risk. That's what we have. Thank You for your consideration.
