Notice how most everything reported these days is a “crisis”?
Farming is a crap shoot. Every one of those states experiencing flooding has flooded before. We all survived.
I’m a bit ambivalent regarding corn, soybeans, and wheat, anyway. I hate to see the little guy get hurt financially. Most of those affected by this latest flood event are likely not “little guys”, but Big Guys, as in corporate farms. They grow that bio-engineered GMO “food” that is really suspect as to its safety for long-term consumption. (Almost all wheat, for instance, tests positive for glyphosate, the active carcinogenic ingredient in Roundup.) I realize that the ripple effect financially is likely to pass on to the rest of us at some point whether its real or engineered to soak up more of our depleting wealth. (Never let a crisis go to waste, remember!)
