We pump our finite aquifer to produce more nearly worthless corn and soy biofuel bushels to compete with this. Why again?

BREAKING: US oil prices fall to $55/barrel, now at their lowest level since February 2021. President Trump continues to call for gas prices to fall to $2/gallon.

In celebration of new KC wheat lows I pose a question- how practical is the commodity loan program? I’ll call fsa (nevermind, government shutdown) for interest rate and details but it appears it is getting close to being an option in this market. Also- 🥳🎉 for new contract…

How many different iterations of this scenario must be endured until it is recognized that good intentions are often fatal errors? Why can’t they just let this ag market go unhindered- as an experiment in capitalism even. Keynesian koolaid ultimately ends up like Jonestown.

USDA: Hey we are going to give you a few bucks to retain heifers. Farmer: But if I fatten her I can get $4000 USDA: But we need to rebuild the herd. Farmer: Won't that make the price go down? USDA: You're missing the point, we are going to pay you to retain heifers Farmer: If the…

Europe- 1900. No, I didn’t double check the atlas. The point is this- The majority of Americans would be clueless as to the names of some of these countries/empires. The millions of cousins and brothers killing each other over map lines in the last 125 years is staggering. These…

BREAKING: China to impose retaliatory 10% tariff on US oil and agricultural equipment.
