A Farm crisis is when theres not enough food to eat ..this is not a crisis when we got corn to convert into FUEL thats not a crisis .When China dosent have enough food to eat …thats a crisis … We can always print money to keep the farmers going ..thats not a crisis,yes its better if they can export ! BUT to call it a crisis is a play with words to get sympathy …If China dosent have enough food to eat they will change their mind in an instant about buying American Soybeans .
Everything is NOT a crisis until you dont have enough to eat,then you got a crisis .THATS why we as a country have price supports for farmers ,its good business to keep them going or WE dont eat…..then we got a real problem…WE are blessed with good Farm land and a diversified climate
if one part of the country is in drought another can take up the slack….
