Soybeans

She stopped on her way back from swimming at the YMCA to climb up and speak with this man in charge of the lever that opens and closes the hatch for the flow of soybeans that fall into the trucks parked beneath. The soybeans in this bin were just sold to another distributer down the road. The harvest of soybeans and corn is like a cash. It is transferred between different bins. The bigger bins buy from the little bins, and when the economy is good and there is a high demand, the grain is sold locally for ethanol and feed for cows or shipped out of the country as feed for people. The bins allow you to have control of the market. The bigger the bin the more powerful you are.
