Gentlemen,

At 4:30 pm today, we will be reviewing and requesting your approval to
establish Softs trading on EOL. Attached is a presentation prepared by
Darren and Trena for your review. (A hard copy will be delivered to your
office this morning.)

I'm not sure if additional approval is required beyond your authority. But,
please be aware that once we start building this business it will be somewhat
difficult to quickly terminate. Further, I'm not including this business or
the Softs brokerage business in the March 31, 2001 "go or no-go" decision for
building a general ag business.

Regards,

Gary
