Yes, when I was in SD a couple months ago, I listened to farmers in a cafe talking about how some of the community members had been talked into mortgaging their property to “Get in on the boom”.””

I live in a farming community and no farmer I know did that when most of the shares sell at 10K/.

Yep. From the sound of it, some folks had apparently been talked into literally betting the farm on ethanol.

I hope it doesn’t end badly for them; but Leadfield picks and shovels is what it brought to mind.
