"So long, Lone Star State! You look like a tiny star set against the vast colossal sky of Mother Russia"

Was the tip off the couple million acres of farmland that are underwater? Or the millions of acres not yet planted?
I have three tomato plants and some peppers in my garden and even I understand the mechanics of farm yield.
Don’t we already have vast amounts of reserve corn stored at various sites? I have heard for years that we have literally ‘TONS’ of government cheese nobody needs. Maybe the same applies to other staple foods.
If we do have mucho corn stored away, then bring that cr*p out now. This is the kind of year we will need it, to keep prices from shooting sky high. Maybe the extra corn was meant for Ethanol. Hmmmph! another overrated product.
Will this impact the second wheat planting? Not a farmer...just a curious lover of bread. Perhaps I should stock up on 50 pound bags of flour at Costco.
How big is Texas?
Accuweather - a profound conception for the obvious.

Anybody driving through west Iowa recently could tell you that.
There’s always been good and bad years.
If you claim this is a bad year, you can raise prices.
Remember the drought in Texas a few years ago when ranchers were selling off their cattle at rock bottom prices? Did the price of beef at the grocery store go down? Crazily, it skyrocketed.
Plant rice.
Here in Western NC we are finally drying out and fields are being plowed and planted.
Agreed on that harebrained idiot ethanol idea.
It’ll be another few weeks here, for us, until it’s dry enough to plant.
Ha!
Corn is looking great on mid Texas coast. Of course there could always be another Harvey.
