Gas is below $1 in several places here, so who knows how long the local plant will hold out. If it gets real ugly, I guess I could try roasting some of our own beans. Never even seen it done though, so I'm sure it'd be a disaster.

Heh. Take video. I’d be interested to see if it worked.
RE: margins. I feel you. Mine are ass but nothing like bloodbath you cow guys are taking. Dads got a field next to this little feedyard this guy runs. 1000 head or something. Anyway I roll in there with my sprayer and see this cow by the chute. So I call him and make sure he knows and I’m not going to spook her to hell and gone. He answers and I ask how he’s doing. His response is: “well, the markets are closed.”

If I drive 55 miles per hour and get 5 miles to the gallon, then every hour on the road will consume 11 gallons of oil and give me $410 in income. I'll drive 40 hours a week and gross $16,000.

June futures are still 20.43. Fairly certain you won’t be selling the opportunity to offload physical oil.
