So one specific crop is impacted by wetter weather. Farmers of old would plan for this and change their crops. Am I missing something?

I come from a farming family and I have no idea what you’re talking about.

How does a farmer know what the weather next year is going to be? If it is dry this year is he going to plan on it being wet next year or does he get out the Farmers Almanack?

If you planted corn in the south 40 this year maybe you plant soybeans in it next year. That is about the extent of deciding what to plant. Other than guessing what prices are going to be next year that is about the extent of planning on what crop to plant.

I suppose I’m making assumptions on this farmer’s crop. I appreciate your feedback. I would’ve thought that farmers would diversify their crops to ensure that one bad year doesn’t completely wipe them out.
