I’ll bet the Communist Chinese get it.

Or someone like Soros, Buffett, or the Progressive Insurance guy, who buy farmland like we buy toilet paper.

yeah, it’s all about the land-farm land especially. Can’t have common folks owning it.

From the Ohio.com article - more at the link about how much the costs are and about other farmers in the area. No mention of what will happen to his land except that he planted soy beans.

Excerpt:

Sweet corn season will begin this month without one of Akron’s favorite growers.

Bessemer Farms, the only working farm within the city of Akron, has stopped growing vegetables for local tables.

Farmer Don Bessemer this year planted all of his fields with soybeans instead of the corn, squash, peppers, lettuce and other vegetables that he typically grew. His farm market on St. Michaels Avenue is closed, and he has laid off all of his workers.
