I have read nearly all of the post on this topic, and I wonder. Just how many of you guys have really in all honesty, made your entire living from your farm, or are you just talking out of your azz? Corn yields are double and sometimes triple what farmers could get in the 60’s and 70’s. Holstein cows give more than double the amount of milk they could in the 70’s. Better crops that give stand and yield, corn with stacked genetics , alfalfa that regrows faster and yields more tons per acre. All of these things contribute to over production. Not just in the USA, but in every part of the world that grows wheat, beans and corn. We have better planters and better harvesting equipment, GPS guidance systems for spraying herbicide and fertilizer, to prevent overlapping or missing areas of the field. There were always good farmers and bad farmers. Give the good managers, better tools , and they will do a better job. And that is a big part of what is happening. Supply and demand is not brake enough to stop this runaway train.
