English term or phrase: our own crude slide roles
Very simple things. Many of the same things we did in silver. We would keep the best clerks by paying a good wage and providing them with the opportunity for growth. We also constructed our own crude slide roles that would show the implied price for soybeans given different price combinations for soybean oil and soybean meal.

nossas próprias réguas de cálculo rudimentares
Explanation:
Erro tipográfico. É "slide rule", que significa régua de cálculo. No caso, entendo que eles criaram uma régua de cálculo rudimentar para prever preços.

"crude" entendo que tenha aqui o sentido de rudimentares.
