Returns were calculated by multiplying the 2005 yield by the test weight discount paid at the Southwest Grain Terminal located in Gladstone on September 6. The price paid was $1.00/bu, assuming that the test weight was heavier than 37 lb/bu. Grain with a test weight of 37 lb/bu was discounted $.04/bu, with an additional discount of $.04/bu per pound down to 30 lb/bu. Below 30 lb/bu, an additional discount of $.07/bu occurred per pound.
