USDA Facts say we are planting more acres than ever and the yields are at record per acre levels.
USDA report. Look it up on google
Corn 2013, largest number of acres planted since 1936.
Soybeans 2014, record high 81.4 million acres up 6% over previous year.
All wheat 2014 down 1% to 55 million acres
Cotton 2014, about 11 million acres up 7% from last year.
Sugar beets down 2%
Regulations reducing production?
Wow. You found some figures from last year and some estimates (throw it at a dartboard and hope it sticks types of guesses) for this year. You do get a gold star for effort.
You seem to have some comprehension issues. With all of your "common sense" it would stand to reason you actually read what I wrote. I said "very soon" because these rules haven't been implemented yet. What will be the final form isn't even available to the public yet, and once it is we'll all need a law degree to understand it. Production acreage will decrease and yields will decrease in many areas if proper drainage isn't allowed for and if land use and agricultural techniques are further restricted. Livestock likely will have to be removed or relocated from certain areas if this is implemented in the fashion that many seem to think the EPA is heading with it.
EPA will use surely use "common sense" in applying fair and reasonable judgement regulating us. Mike and Chantell Sackett's case is a fine example of how much of your life and your wallet you get to waste for the privilege of battling with a bloated, overreaching government agency called the Environmental Protection Agency over nothing. They had to sue the EPA for the right to even challenge an EPA decision on a regulation and potential fines resulting for that decision, and in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court, we all now have the right to challenge the EPA and other regulatory agencies' decisions.
Look it up on google.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
