Yah......and fuck you .....how about you send back that paycheck that Trump has increased for you. Fucking faggot. If you arent making more money now than anytime under Obama the failure you are more braindead than we all thought. 

No farmers are making more now than when corn was over $7 under Obama.  We sold some at $7.26/bu at the peak.

No - your post is confusing.  Simple clarification is all that’s needed.

No farmers (quantity of those working the land, granted it is sensationalist) are making (earning more $per bushel, and thusly $ per acre) more (comparitive showing increase or greater amount) now (the present time/season) than when (time relationship comparing past to present) corn (maize crop) was over $7 (price of previously mentioned crop) under Obama. (time during the previous Presidency).  We sold some at $7.26/bu at the peak. (Price of previously mentioned crop that our farm sold said crop for to local elevator)

Yeah and that was buoyed by ethanol which has more carbon emissions than if we were burning straight gasoline. Probably only reason more dairy farms haven't gone out of business is low grain and soybean prices so I'm fine keeping those prices low to help our Maine dairy farmers since we can't grow good grain out here.

That wasn't confusing at all for someone with better than 2nd grade reading comprehension and the slightest understanding of agriculture. :lol:

Low milk prices and the lifestyle required to be a smaller dairy farm are why many are selling the herd.  

It is a tough go of it when you are getting the same priced for your hundred weight as you were in the mid 80's with much higher input costs, and have to devote your life to the cows.  

But by all means, continue buying $1.89 milk at Wal-Mart and complaining about mega farms and how mom and pop can't make it work.  (Do directed at you GGNHL, more so everyone)

You know, it seems some of you are farmers and some of you grow soybeans.  I sure am glad the site libs can chime in here and tell you all how you should feel and how some of your liveyhood works.  It’s important to have “intellectual elite experts”.  This place should really charge more!

Please thank them.

Tough shit.  What other profession is afforded their career just because....???  Besides - all you small farmers bitch and complain about mega farms but do little to assist a young person interested in getting started.  Instead - most farmers sell their land and assets to the highest bidder......even if that is a mega farm.  Who takes a little less from a small operator?  Farmers are the biggest hypcores around.....with the exception of Union Delivery Boy.
