| When will articles like this be beating the dead horse? We've been hearing since November about how the new administration's trade policy will be bad for ag. How the stock market will crash. Hasn't happened yet.
Conversely, who saw the runup in commodities in 2007? Who had any idea how far it would go, what it did to farming as we know it? How much of the success on that run had to do with trade policy, and how much was due to the simple fact that certain heavily populated areas now have more expendable income for food and we happen to be one of the low cost producers for that food? Trade certainly plays a role but I would say global economic factors are more important. | |
