Odd to drive I 80 today through Iowa and not have my windshield covered with bugs. Livestock numbets are being culled now. This will ripple.p
The US corn supply shrinking from 13 billion bushels to 9-10-11 billion bushels isn’t going to starve anyone, especially with record world supplies.
Unless you are a "minority" and have been "denied" this "assistance" in the past.
Argentina will definitely benefit from sales of grain that are still in storage from the last harvest. What the article does not set out clearly is that Argentina’s spring planting has not been done. Argentina could very well have similar weather problems and/or natural disasters. You can’t count the cash until the crop is out of the field. Theirs is not even *in* the field yet.
