1 rung has passed their sell-by date with the bushels still unpriced. The plan prices those tranches on the calendar rather than the market, which is the whole point of writing a date next to a price. Either price them or agree a new date with the family and write it down.

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 $10.05 to count as clearing cost.
