There really has to be an adjustment here. The world will not pay $4 corn, people will eat less or produce more the world over at those prices. Never mind the 7 or 8 dollar corn we had for a short time....
We can't afford $350 a bag seed corn, don't care how good the traits and breeding is in it. $125 to $150 an acre to the seed company doesn't work at $3 corn, just doesn't.
