I'd like to suggest Neblett  put down the computer,  Ipad, cellphone and all other devices  and use:  a pencil,  paper and a calculator.   Of course if the reporter could have written a story that  told us:  1. who owns the 6,000 acres, and if they are paid for.  2. 450,000 bu of  what crop?  3. Explained how he sees the bailout/MFA payments as making it worse. 4. Could follow one farmer/crop  before sticking  a dairy farm in the middle.    5.  The picture is a soybean field in Illinois supposedly this article is about a farmer in Mississippi.  6.  Rives  Neblett is the dad....  I think the article is written about the son  Thomas.    But,  then it is hard to tell what is what.  

Supposedly,  the writer  Phil McCausland, is the NBC New reporter focused on the rural-urban divide.    He is clueless.
