Have all the proof I need, speculators are lower than whale manure and that’s at the bottom of the ocean.

You're unaware of the distinction between "speculators lower than whale manure" and honest, hard-working farmers seeking to insure against loss of their investment?

My Uncle Ed and Nephew Mike would be very unhappy to be grouped with the former...

Once again you know nothing about current day farming and the USDA. Three are four times a years I get mail wanting to give me crop insurance, wanting to give me loans, wanting to give me money for not plant, wanting to give me money for planting. etc, etc, example

Yes this is good.... Keep Wall Street parasites out of the energy and oil markets. What will actually happen is they won’t be able to take huge positions in oil. Only genuine producers and buyers will be able too

This is a return to how it was before 2000
These markets will have good liquidity minus Goldman Sachs and like bottom feeders

So, what? Any farmer who has an allotment receives them.

We got the same mailings. And received checks for not planting corn, cotton and soybeans -- even though we had converted the property to pecans and had no intention of planting any of them.

Like I said, so what?
