but .........but........but.........All these so called "experts" said Ohio could make up any and all shortfalls found in Iowa and other "I" states.

However these are the same "experts" that kick us Ohio folks when we are having rough weather conditions by saying we are a fringe producing area than does not matter in the larger picture. 

So which is it ?

We have some pretty good soils in areas but don't have the widespread deep rich topsoils that Iowa has.
