[Mr. Lucky]

You'll forgive my saying so, but we must farm on different planets. Farmers' planting decisions are based upon any number of factors which, all combined, most reasonably predict the most profitable crop. And, yes, even farmers in western Nebraska have marketing power; they have the power to raise corn to not to raise corn; to sell corn as a cash crop to to consume on the farm; ad infinitum.

[IrishCatholic]

Yes, we do farm on different planets.
How much do you get for a bushel of corn?
How much do you pay for a box of Kellogs corn flakes?
How many of your fellow farmers have off the farm employment as their primary income?
How many farmers are over 50 with their children choosing different careers where they can make more money?
