Successful farming news article. What a joke

I'm sorry to throw a farming topic on a trucking forum, so dont read it if you don't like it.

Just read the successful farming article about a record corn crop and stellar price. What a bunch of fake news. Fake stinking news. Sure, there are pockets of high yields, but it's far from a good yield in most places. How can their be a record yield, with a record number of unplanted acres in MOST corn belt states. Take a drive from grand forks to des moines. Take a look.

Crop insurance companies in iowa have told me the yields are crap for corn and beans. Are peanut seeing high yields on the combine monitor and forgetting to include unplanted acres in their overall yield?? And wheres this average of 3.80 price??????? I dont know ANYBODY in SD, ND, MN, IA pulling an average of 3.80. Maybe 3.50 if they were smart, then take off another 30 cents for drying this year. Record yield?? No way. Record bankruptcy and farmer suicide rates again, yes.

Successful farming is no different than CNN in my opinion. Sorry to vent, but just heard about another farmer suicide in ND.

Be safe
