Net cash is the board plus the basis, which is the only price the family is actually paid. Where the basis is open the stored figure is today's estimate rather than a settled price, so the average across the account moves until somebody fixes it.
What was advised, and what they decided
| Date | Crop | Outcome | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 24, 2026 | Wheat | Declined | Recommended fixing basis, client wants to see spring |
| Mar 19, 2026 | Corn | Priced | Priced the next tranche at the elevator, board plus basis |
