The question

Which terms matter when comparing Kansas wheat bids?

Begin with one dated worksheet and record capture wheat class, protein schedule, grade, futures reference, basis, delivery period, freight, and timestamp. That makes assumptions visible before the next call or operating decision. Keep this limit in view: different quality specifications can make posted wheat bids non-equivalent.

What matters now

  1. Make the comparison apples-to-apples by documenting capture wheat class, protein schedule, grade, futures reference, basis, delivery period, freight, and timestamp.

  2. Keep every cited number tied to its unit, geography, reference period, release date, and revision state.

  3. Use the result to ask a better local question, not as a prediction; different quality specifications can make posted wheat bids non-equivalent.

Before the next call

What to check

  • Check that the comparison uses like units, locations, and delivery or reference periods.

  • Check each official release date and whether the underlying value is preliminary, revised, suppressed, or missing.

  • Check that the decision record states this limitation: different quality specifications can make posted wheat bids non-equivalent.
