| I can't see anything good in the long run. Inputs up a lot, and the big boys will hog every acre there is. |

You that are growing it better hope it goes about double that. The GREAT RESET is coming to the world, inflation going higher than the moon. You cannot keep printing money and giving it away without. How many are old enough to remember before 1970? The price of grain just stayed about the same from 1950 or so (even before me  ) to 197? when the big sale to USSR. I was in college and the professors where talking plant fence row to fence row breakout pasture. We had to help feed the world. Always be a good grain market. Well look at 1985  , (I know their are bunch of you that old). No end to bad times as interest rates got to the high teens. My worth what your paying option is, hang on it is going around again. As they say good day or 2 then the bad years and years. That shinny new electric tractor ( Politically Correct ) sleepy Joe has planned for you , and the hundred page report you will turn in to justify being able to get fertilizer and herbicides will squeeze the profit out again.The city jacka$$es that don't know how to keep their yard all worry you don't know how much fertilizer or weed killer to use. The California Water Quality Control Board, has set limits on how much fertilizer can be applied on irrigated land. The good time are here NOT. The lawyer I am sure are jumping up and down with joy as the law suits begin. The water control boards came about because of the factories dumping toxic waste into rivers and such. The law was written (which was needed) keep the waste out of rivers. But until now never worried about what you started with. All coming to the heartland with Processive Politicians the world over.

I did forget the good news. If your signed up with Welfare for Farmers( dammed if I can keep the alphabet soup right on the covid relief program) seems round 3 is just around the corner. Probably time to spend it on something I can sell in the bad times ahead. How do I store gasoline or electricity long term? Maybe buy ammunition, no that boat sailed too.

FDR initiated it with the elimination of Gold Coins and Gold reliance in 1933, then Nixon pulled the remaining Gold Backing off the dollar in 71. Bought a house in 86, 18% Interest, could buy near to ANY home cheap if owner HAD to sell to move or was being corporate moved back then, just took it in the ear for rates.

Up until the spring of 1971, the treasury department was restricted to printing only 32 dollars of paper money for each ounce of actual gold that the government held in Ft Knox. I vividly remember sitting in Economic 101 class in the spring of 1971. The professor announced that Congress had voted to rescind the gold standard the previous day. He became all-beside-himself!!!! He said things are going to change, they will never be the same again!! |

| Pretty well true, was in Economics class at Florissant Valley Com Col in 1978 trying to expand my views get a furthered education where the Ec Prof(also Black) was on a soapbox as to how "Real money" could now be printed in large volumes to put in the hands of the needy(Libtard extraordinaire), I had Ec101 in HS, KNEW of the runaway HISTORICALLY Presented inflation and financial deflation of foreign currencies that had no backing, asked that question and got a diatribe of crap excuses as well a hostile commentary as to my being a retro economics LOSER, I dropped the class as had ZERO Value. |
