Landus closed today? Interesting and what i have learned on farm programs after not sleeping last nite
most all the farm programs have University of Illinois involved in writing the farm programs
They have come up for the 2024 corn loss of $161 a and soybean loss of $53
the program will pay $43 a for corn and $30 a for beans
I'm not a Illinois Farmer but my records on my corn and beans showed a profit here in Iowa,wonder what i did wrong
so the university with lots of corporate donors
(which comes with expectations
) are helping create the welfare programs to allow input and equipment suppliers to maintain inflated margins and high cash rents
(which the university has a lot of land and lots of donors with lots of land
) all so they use their diesel semis to haul it to ethanol plants to be made into a heavily subsidized environmentally friendly fuels. And the Iowa farmers are chopping their crop insurance covered corn, mixing it with the subsidized ethanol byproduct and feeding it to cattle in EQIP subsidized barns to create free fertilizer so they can grow more corn and do it again with their subsidized LRP's and livestock indemnity payments while the packer cartel pays them record prices for their fat cattle.
Seems we've created a lot of economic activity, lots of jobs and a group of ultra wealthy at the top of the business pyramids. When you sleep with your landlord and have free fertilizer you tend to come up with favorable economic circumstances, so I wouldn't ask anymore questions.
Landus closed? Farm Doc university of Illinois.
