Diesel fuel, hebacides and pestacides are up as well. This in combination to the loss of international markets is bankrupting farmers.

This may be a new “dust bowl” event casing an increase of financial institution failures contributing to a depression. American farmer/ranchers are a very small minority who are massive economic drivers in our modern world.

We can thumb our noses at them, saying they voted for this, but we will all suffer from their loss.
