Thanks, a good visual of the self induced scourge of the average farmer.

The government uses, and fine tunes, that huge production to hang over the head of the farmer, limiting his downside risk, but keeping him captive to a limited profit margin.

That’s why most farmers have a family member who has an off-the-farm job.
