**Farmers are already going to leave their drought-stricken crops in the fields because it’s not worth it at 50-bushells an acre.**
Where, Cali? Here in south central TN it has been very dry since latter July, very wet for two months previous, leaving the soil very able to support a crop over 2/3 way to maturity. Most crops are mature here, and being harvested at record or near record BPA. I know because I’ve hauling corn and soybeans to the bins for a farmer. Corn so dry, practically no LP gas is being used to dry corn.
The midwest cornbelt has got a record corn crop I hear, soybeans probably as well. They have had more than ample rainfail.
But the fake news media is doing its job, as usual.
Glad to hear that at least part of the country is having crop success instead of failure. Where I live, we’ve had (lately) a little rain, but not enough earlier in the year & farmers had to switch to crops requiring less water than what they WERE going to grow. Hopefully next year will be better.
