Hi all - Commodities analyst/trader

I'm a commodities analyst/trader currently on the producer side (ABCD). I trade grains and dairy products. Finance undergrad from a non-target. Considering grad school, but not sure if the timing is right. I have worked for a bank at a grain desk as a trading assistant. I also took the plunge and traded my own account full time for awhile. I like the stories and discussion I've seen on this site so far and hope I can add to it every once and awhile. I've also seen a few senior commodities guys around and hope to get some insight from them.
