Item 4.01 Change In Registrant’s Certifying Accountants.

(a) On April 10, 2012, Beeland Management Company, L.L.C. (the “Company”), general partner of Rogers International Raw Materials Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”), with the approval of the Company’s Managing Members, dismissed McGladrey LLP (“McGladrey”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.

The reports of McGladrey on the Fund’s financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 and during the period from December 31, 2012 through the date of this Form 8-K, the Company has had no disagreements with McGladrey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of McGladrey, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report on the financial statements of the Fund for such periods. There were no reportable events (as defined in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)) during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 or during the period from December 31, 2012 through the date of this Form 8-K.

The Company, on behalf of the Fund, requested that McGladrey furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter dated April 22, 2013, is filed as an Exhibit hereto.

(b) On April 17, 2013, the Company, with the approval of its Managing Members, engaged Spicer Jeffries & Co. (“Spicer”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 and during the interim period from December 31, 2012 through the date of the engagement of Spicer, the Company has not consulted Spicer on behalf of the Fund with respect to any of the matters described in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii).
