Somehow stock markets have been let loose from any restrictions.They arent tied to supply and demand,only to greed.The manipulaters ran the markets to where they had over a year of stocks bought up,and then claimed shortage on stuff that wasnt even planted yet.Instead of fixing this problem,so many other greedy people are involved that they just leave it alone.Thats my idea on it.I might be off a little but it s in that general area. I know somebody will probably have some complex bunch of crap to say about it,but from at least the early 1970s the CBT has been manipulating more and more the price farmers have beeen getting paid for crops.This is even admitted by Con Agra if you want to dig deep enough.Con Agra,Tyson and Cargil are the stock market.There are a couple others in there as well.If Con Agra and Tyson want cheaper chickens tomorrow,the price of chicken will go down.You can believe that.It will probably be a penny or 2 below what they ask for too.Now thats how close the stock market works with big business.If farmers are starving because Con Agra wont pay them a fair price,well he is just a farmer.He will go under and a better farmer will take his place.Farmers dont have any influence because they cant agree if its raining outside.Also its rigged so even if they did stand together they would get screwed because they dont have as much money to hire lawyers as the big companys.Big business acts as one big crooked monster.Farmers act as individual slaves.And thats how your "Capitalism and Free Market"works today.Nothing but less for the slaves and more for the paper pushers.
Its the same story as putting a frog in water and turning the heat up slow and before he knows it he is cooked.The crooks have been incrementally ruining agriculture for decades.At least since the late 1960s when Nixon was elected President.They kept the price of crops so low,and publicly admitted it,if you can find it,so "the United States is the low cost food provider to the world"right on the wall at Con Agra Headquarters in Omaha about 10 years ago.Con Agra isnt even the worst big company,but they sure had a communist viewpoint just like the rest of them.They sure will let you work for nothing and then get you bidding against each other to work for even less than nothing.Worked real well for them.They have bought thousands of businesses and closed them down or run them into the ground along with the rest of it.
This is also why you dont have any representation in Government any more.If you did you could farm 200 acres and make a living like you could in 1969. Your corn would need to be about 8 dollars a bushel and beans about 24 dollars a bushel with the way everything else is,but nothing else is the right price either.If union wages are 25 dollars an hour that should be minimum wage. Big time crooks worse than the mafia have ruined the United States.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
