Not worth a hill of beans

What's a hill of beans worth?

Let's assume a "hill" is 50 ft high with a 40deg slope.

This gives us a diameter of approx 120' at the base of the hill, or a radius of 60'

The volume of a cone is 1/3πr²h

This gives our theoretical hill a volume of 188,495 cubic ft.

There are a little more than .8 bushels per cubic foot, so our hill contains 141,467 bushels of beans.

As of today, the futures price for soybeans is approximately $13.50 per bushel.

So a hill of beans is worth approximately $2,044,809.

Not bad.
