Accumulation Level: 527.25

Accumulating 19 cents above market with a Guarantee of at least 5.0875

This does have a double up potential so keep that in mind as you decide on number of bushels to contract.

 


 

Every week the contract settles
  • above the Knock-Out Level (453.00), and at or below the Accumulation Level (527.25), 100% of the weekly notional quantity is priced at the Accumulation Level (527.25).
  • above the Accumulation Level (527.25) and a knock-out has not occurred, 200% of the weekly notional quantity is priced at the Accumulation Level (527.25).
If the Knock-Out level
  • trades or is breached to the downside, further accumulations and the Double-Up risk cease. Any swaps already accumulated will continue to exist. Remaining accumulations are priced at the Guaranteed Level (508.75).

 Bonus Premium

 Receive premium on cash bushels in exchange for secondary offer on deferred delivered bushels

 

Bushel requirement: 5,000 

Fee: 5₵/bu

 

How it works: In this case you are selling old crop bushels and placing an offer for new crop bushels.

Tama Benton will sell a call option at a predetermined strike price in the Dec24 for Corn.  The premium collected from the call price minus the fee will be added to your old crop cash price.  If the market is at or above the strike price on date of expiration you will be obligated to deliver additional bushels.  These additional bushels will be to the same location as the initial old crop bushels, and will be subject to the current posted basis for that location.  If the market is below the call’s strike price at expiration, then no additional bushels will need to be delivered.

Example from 9/21/23 prices **indication only call for current values**

 

Corn

Oct/Nov Cash: 4.43

Dec24 call @ 5.40 futures is worth .25 – Expires 09/27/24

This would give you $4.63 cash for your Oct/Nov23 Corn and with historical basis values in fall should put your Oct/Nov24 at $5.00+ if the call fills on expiration. If the call does not fill at expiration you will still have received the premium on your Oct/Nov23 corn and no additional bushels will need to be delivered next fall.
