Q:How come the bills on farmer's baseball caps are always bent in a curve?

Because pf Ethanol distortion, or because of food?

[ImpBill]

If anyone followed our last foray into double digit inflationary times, farmland all over the country, especially the Midwest skyrocketed. Jimmah Carter's misery index is going to make this next period of inflation look like a Sunday School picnic. And then the bottom rocked many farmers into loosing their land.

Beware! This is not the greatest of news. Far from it!

The leftist useful idiots want the land in that area to be too expensive to purchase for homesteading types, and the ones who do get it will be “nudged” into allowing it to lay fallow. You know, to save the planet from CO2. You may find this Sierra Club(gag).pdf interesting.
