If we were all half and half like some were back in the day prices would be rocketing. We are growing so much, adding every little imaginary thing to the crop to get extra bushels. There can be hail and too much rain, etc but the other areas will pick up the slack and make up the difference. Rain makes grain and that's all the trade people are concerned with. Grow lots and we will buy it cheap. We can come in here and tell all the stories we want about what's happening with this crop, but it's not going to do any good. When flooding, hail, and disease become non issues expect dismal prices going forward.

These "GENIUSES" in all likely hood create an income stream for themselves out of the venture.... Board seats, management positions, all sucking the life out of the Corp while investors hope and pray for a return on investment!!!
I am assuming...
That is why "Large Agricultural "BUSINESS" Corporations" seldom survive....The management is more interested in their financial health than that of the Corps. Wouldn't you say the farm's finances have to come before yours if you want a farm to survive long term? I've said it a million times.... farming is not a business that can be managed using the normal corporate business structure.... there just isn't enough money to go around! Especially with the boom and bust cycles it endures.

I agree they live it when we over produce because Its like shooting fish in a barrel! Sooner all need to sell pay first low little higher to the ones who wait. Wait to long they do the new crop is here even if it's March.
All up the chain want a profit the farmer is just the first stupid supplier in the cycle! We do all the work they reap the rewards!
Real simple said fast slow or not spoken!

I agree it's a great big world but maybe we're always fed the big crop bullshit and never get the shitty crops.
Because big crops mean low prices and big returns for grain companies. Buy low from us sell high.
Keep all poor yields quiet in countries all over the globe because that way don't have to over pay for product.
I still believe it's about keeping costs down.

Prescription recipes so you can save even more money so they can buy the ****ing shit from you even cheaper than now.... All designed to make "YOU"(if I could write it any bigger I would)the lowest cost producer.... ALL AT YOUR EXPENSE. **** me!
