Plunkett's respect for Fairbanks is equalled only by his fondness for former Stanford coach, John Ralston, now with the Denver Broncos. "John Ralston is personable and mingles with the people, whereas Coach Fairbanks doesn't say much to anybody.

Grain dealers and agribusiness giants such as Ralston Purina and Quaker Oats sell and buy future contracts on the exchange-and each transaction really amounts to a bet on what commodities will actually sell for in one to nine months. Since November, the 124-year-old exchange's volume record and many of its price records have been broken...
