I think you are right, and I hope you are. Some of these "farmers" amaze me. They have big ideas and big loans. A fella down the road from me took out crop insurance for the first time a few years ago, and that year row crops were terrible. I would hate to see what shape he would be in had it not been for that insurance. I wish all young farmers the best of luck.

Thanks for the insight, it is true, if you don't learn from history it is doomed to repeat itself.
