Synopsis

When information becomes the most valuable commodity, knowing what the market will do before everyone else can make a fortune—or bring everything crashing down.

Jack Harris appears to have an extraordinary ability to anticipate movements in the soybean futures market. While other traders react to the chaos of the Chicago commodities floor, Jack seems to know exactly when to act, placing massive positions moments before prices surge.

But his success has a secret.

Confidential USDA crop-report information is being leaked before its official release, giving Jack and a network of traders an illegal advantage. In Washington, SEC analyst Amanda Davis notices an unusual pattern: market movements repeatedly occur just before major crop reports become public.

What begins as a suspicious trading pattern develops into a federal investigation involving surveillance, financial records, communications, and insider testimony. As investigators follow the trail, Jack's seemingly extraordinary market instincts begin to look very different.

The Crop Report is a financial thriller about insider trading, confidential information, market manipulation, loyalty, and the consequences of exploiting information that was never meant to reach the trading floor.
