"Farm crisis" and "ag bailout" will be debate topics during the 2016 Iowa presidential caucuses.
lol maybe in Iowa but nationwide nobody will care. The PR damage to ag has been done. You will not see a 80's type crisis. If things change to make one happen the country as a whole will be in a recession worse than 2008. It's going to take more than a good crop to bring that on. Change in monetary policy, loss of ethanol mandate and the loss of export markets all at or about the same time. Is what I think it will take.
It could happen but not likely at this time.
