How to apply it to a cargo

• CME corn 499.25 ¢/bu ($4.99/bu) (-4.54%); SRW wheat 671.75 ¢/bu ($6.72/bu); soybeans 1,285.00 ¢/bu ($12.85/bu).
• Soybean meal $355.00/st (-1.85%) is a CBOT screen, not a CFR Vietnam or China landed number.
• CF Industries $115.20 and Mosaic $21.65 are nitrogen/phosphate equities, not prilled urea or DAP granule prints.

Map the screen to a real parcel through Agricultural Commodities & Fertilizer Supply and, where freight dominates the landed bill, vessel chartering or cargo logistics.
