| USDA should consider raising loan rates to say 75 or 80 % of cash values regionally & charge say 2 % interest. Provide for a more aggressive on farm storage building program. Commercial grain storage & rail monopolies suck a lot of wind out of the returns seen at the farm. Competition for your production is vitally important in times like these. when things are good we forget about what lean times look like. At some point Ag needs to collectively figure out a method for production controls ....tough to do but discussions need to be had. Currency manipulation can be a real dagger in farm exports....we are fortunate currently that the dollar remains under pressure ....I would hate to think what this would look like if it was trading @ 104 | |
