Every rung on every ladder clears this family's cost of production plus the desk's $0.10 cushion, and nothing has passed its sell-by date. The plan is doing its job.

Rungs are sorted by price rather than by the order they were entered, because a scale-up ladder only reads as a ladder in price order. Distance is measured from the cash bid, which is the board plus the local basis, not from the board alone.

A rung that filled before its date is done rather than overdue. The desk's cushion over break-even is $0.10, because a break-even is itself an estimate and pricing exactly at one is pricing at the midpoint of an error bar. On this crop that means a rung has to clear $3.94 to count as clearing cost.
