94k bu is priced on the board with the basis still open, so the average price below is an estimate on those bushels rather than a number. Somebody has to ring the elevator and fix it, or tell Doug Larsen plainly that this part of the position is not fully priced yet.

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.
