Standardized grain math in VS Code

Implement `calculate_farm_gate_parity` across your team's workspace to keep everyone on the same page. It ensures consistent parity calculations for all grain exports. By committing the config file, you make sure no one is using outdated tax or freight logic. Everyone runs the same math, every time.

Shared transport rates for teams

Use `get_transportation_rate` to share logisitics cost data across your organization. It pulls from a single source of truth defined in your project settings. This makes it easy to maintain accurate cost models. Your team avoids the drift that happens when everyone uses their own local spreadsheets.

Market analysis across the repo

Call `analyze_market_opportunity` to perform side-by-side comparisons of market profitability. It helps your team identify the best export windows quickly. VS Code agents process this data and provide insights directly in the chat. It keeps your team focused on the numbers that drive actual profit.
