Man I wish I still had the land and plant nothing but corn and wheat.

When I got out 1999 all this bio crap and ethanol stuff was not even a twinkle in but a few peoples brain. We had been screaming for it for 10 years before I got.

You are right it sure is the place to be depending on where you live. It has been so wet in midwest and midsouth that corn should have been planted in our area in middle of March. Alot of wheat in in the states on each side of Mississippi River is under anywhere from 5" of water to as much as 10'.

Look for bio-diesel and food to go up. The purpose for gov. coming out with these programs was to cut payments to help farming because Americas farmers could not compete with world and I could give cost and sales price for example but will not. Anyway now the idea of more crop usage would have the cost of increased price spread amoung more people and it not hurt so bad. Well along came oil shortage along with crop price up because less to be used for food diverted to fuel and gov. has a real mess on their hands.

Believe it or not the farmers were screaming in the 80's for gov. to get out of farming with support money etc. and let those of us who are good businessmen survive the rest find a new job. I was not afraid of getting gov. out making my business decisions for me. It was on deaf ears. Wait till gov. mess with sugar next. Right now there are only about 3 major farm families that draw the bulk of gov. money and then these families control the price setting they make. The very biggest is a Cuban immigrant family that moved legally into Florida and Louisiana with financial ability to buy up much of the cane growing land. Not knocking the heritage of the people because for one thing they had the know how that others did not. So more power to them. It is just another crop that does not need huge tax payer money paid to grow it. Yet there will be a move at some point to use sugarcane as well as sugar beet to aid in fuel. So instead of paying high fuel prices and have cheaper food the gov. will give grants which they have already for crops mentioned to bring it on line as a fuel so that fuel will stay up and food will go up also. There needs to be an independent group to regulate how all this is brought online so food and fuel cost go up to high.
