After this fiasco october stocks report, WHY IN THE HELL WOULD A GRAIN FARMER EVER PARTICIPATE IN ANOTHER SURVEY? This is totally BULLSH!t. Reminds me of the Hillary Clinton 100k profit from the old days. To suddenly find 300 million bushels of corn in 90 days is slapping the farmers in the face. Screw them, I will never,ever participate in a survey and give them a chance to know my business again! This report just cost the American farmer billions of dollars , in a year that most really need the added income. Was there a leak in the report? Look at the action 2 days before the report was released. F.A.G.R.................FARMERS AGAINST GOVERNMENT REPORTS. What other business owner in the US gives out private information other than us? It might take until December now before the minimum wage usda bean counters can figure out on their OWN that this corn crop sucks. 155 or less.
I have but one comment. If you choose not to participate in their surveys, perhaps you should choose not to accept their handout checks as well............
With that said- the answer to the question regarding differentiation between old and new crop is that elevators in several states that I am privy are not asked to note anything but total bushels in storage, period. |
