Overall tone of this screed tries so desperately to eke out negative spin. They just can’t find it, though.
So, of course a farmer raising hogs is going to find a silver lining to lower soybean prices. In fact, a lot of farmers raise corn AND soybeans simply because they want to balance the swings just a little.
Farmers and ranchers know that God must give them the sun and the rain or all of us starve. That basic dependence on God gives them a solid foundation for living with the adversities they face. They will come out all right, which is crucial to our country. This tiny group of super-productive citizens provide food for millions in our country and around the world.
Give thanks.
