Ask yourself, what food is produced in New York, London or Geneva? My bet is that the writers know absolutely "Zero" about food production, distribution or processing. All they know is that they saw some graph that some Global Trading Group put together. It is time to stop listening to this mess and get on with the job of feeding our families and living our lives.
I do plan a bigger garden next year, but I am not afraid of being hungry. I don't have a lot of money, but I have good neighbors (but a number still vote Dem).
That being said, a smart farmer looks to the CBOT traders for guidance, just like the CBOT traders look to the farmer.
Do you think those democrat neighbors will share their food
with you if push comes to shove?
My experience is that very few people who have not farmed on their own know little about farm production and what it takes to put food on the table.
The work is hard, the stress is worse, the thanks are non-existent, the risks are through the roof. If prices are low and food is abundant people are happy and they don’t care that farmers are going broke or they believe the government is giving them millions.
When prices are high because crops are in short supply people think farmers are getting rich off of them when in reality most farmers are hurting because their yields are down.
This is the reason that the average age of farmers is 57. Most farmers don’t encourage their children to farm, they want better for their children and they know that the only way out of farming is bankruptcy or death.
