The fall harvest is in and the statistics are impressive. Put simply, America's breadbasket is bursting. Neither animals nor humans can gobble corn, wheat, and soybeans fast enough to make a dent in the supplies.
Farmers grow it faster than anyone can eat it.
And that's the problem. Grain is so plentiful that it is being dumped on the ground and covered with plastic sheeting in hopes of a better price in the future. Now I don't want to seem negative about abundance, but I am concerned about the farmers in this country. They endure bad years only to have a good year and bad prices. Another round of bankruptcies and foreclosures are headed for the farm belt, and this time it's during a good year.
