Young Farmer..I have many "eugene" stories..fascinating but sad..hurt alot of good people over the go go years of leverage leverge leverage..it was said during one month in the early stages of the run up to end devastating crunch of the 80's that eugene bought or sold a farm a day for a month straight..went to 2 of his liquidation sales..its true he farmed 5,000 acres near Lebanon Ind, 5000 in Greene County near Linton Ind and 5000 in Mississippi all at the same time...after 1 bankrupcty he admitted to still having over a million bushels of corn in large warehouses in Kentucky...wonder where tht corn is now? Used to turn off I-65 and drive right past his front door on my way to Purdue as student in the early 70's
