Or good yield, whatever you want to call it.

Actually good yields this year. You can tell because all the farmers you pass wave at you.

Bad years not so much.

They are making money this year just not uber money.

your mom...

Seed treatment neonics have no yield benefit.

Aren't the neonic treated seeds to prevent bugs from damaging the plant? I would think that would help yield.

Btw, is corn under $2 now?

Blame big ag...

Yeah, because farmers hate 'big ag.'

Poor farmers. Lumped in with big ag and forced to do whatever they want...and get rich doing it...


Give me a break.


Isn't it funny how farmers love to preach about free market economics, yet what you are saying is they're just slaves to Big ag? They'd love to buy the other stuff that doesn't kill bees but as you said, "it's damn near all you can buy."

Gosh, it's so weird that the free market isn't working for the poor farmers. You'd think with free market capitalism, where the consumer dictates the market by what they purchase, that if they wanted the non-neonicotinoids there would be plenty of opportunity to purchase it.

Isn't that weird?

Farmers are "Big Ag." Open your eyes.

There's a reason why that stuff isn't on the shelves; it is because they don't buy it. Plain and simple free market economics.

Oh wait, it's a bad year and now the farmers have switched from free-market capitalism to outright socialism...

...how convenient for them?

Just remember the best revenge is to live well.
