Preliminary Statement No. 1: Items 4.01 and 9.01 of Registrant’s Current Report dated January 12, 2007 are hereby amended as follows:

Preliminary Statement No. 2: This Current Report is being filed as a result of the majority of the partners of Altschuler, Melvoin and Glasser LLP, Registrant’s auditors to the date of this Report, joining the firm of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, which has been engaged as Registrant’s auditors in conjunction therewith.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a)(1)

On January 12, 2007, Beeland Management Company, L.L.C. (“Beeland”), the general partner of Rogers International Raw Materials Fund, L.P. (“Registrant”), was notified that a majority of the partners of Altschuler, Melvoin and Glasser LLP (AM&G) had become partners of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP and, as a consequence, that AM&G has resigned and would no longer be the auditor for the Registrant.

The audit report of AM&G on the financial statements of the Registrant as of and for the year ended 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. As previously reported, Registrant has been involved in the bankruptcy proceedings of Refco Capital Markets, Ltd. A significant percentage of Registrant’s assets were held in accounts at Refco Capital Markets, Ltd. during the fourth quarter of 2005 and during 2006. Registrant has been involved in litigation for the return of such assets. Because it has been unknown whether or not Registrant will sustain a loss on such assets or the amount of any such loss, there has been insufficient information available during the fourth quarter of 2005 and during 2006 to adequately support the value of such assets to Registrant. Accordingly, Registrant has not, as of the date of this Report, determined the value of such assets to Registrant or completed its audits for 2005 and 2006.

In connection with the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended 2004, during the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and during the interim period to the date of this Report there were: (1) no disagreements between the Registrant and AM&G on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of AM&G, would have caused AM&G to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their report on the Registrant’s financial statements for such year, and (2) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Registrant has provided AM&G a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K/A and has requested that AM&G furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not AM&G agrees with the Registrant’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter dated January 23, 2007, furnished by AM&G in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

(a)(2)

On January 18, 2007, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was appointed as the Registrant’s new auditor. During 2004, 2005, 2006 and the interim period prior to engaging McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on behalf of the Registrant, Beeland has not consulted McGladrey Pullen, LLP, on behalf of the Registrant with respect to any matters described in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii).


The decision to engage McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on behalf of the Registrant was approved by the Managing Members of Beeland, acting in its capacity as general partner of the Registrant.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Exhibit

16.1 Letter from Altschuler, Melvoin and Glasser LLP to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission dated January 23, 2007, stating its agreement with the statements made in this report.
