Yes, yes, as I stated--"It has always been government policy to keep food cheap, hence the prime reason for subsidies in a vary volatile industry. Abscent controls and subsidies, think about food prices doubling and shortages occurring. Not a pleasant prospect."

I don't want to go overboard with pessimism, because during harvest time it is very rewarding to fill semis with food for a hungry world. It provides a real sense of accomplishment.

Hey, well best of luck with the harvest. I meant no disrespect to hard working farmers with my comments - just a comment on the economics of the industry, or at least my imperfect understanding of them. Be careful out there - that farm machinery can be dangerous, as I'm sure you know.
