Tyne was at her alter mater talking to Dr Westhoff who says with this tariff disruption payment some Illinois farmers might have a really danged terrific year this year. Some reports of 100bu per acre then possibly get a $1.65 payment...and maybe they contracted a few of those bushels for $10?? Holy smokes there might be some $1,000 per acre bean grosses this year, Dr Westhoff didn`t say the last part, but that`s what it amounts to..."what ag depression??"
Tyne said some Missouri farmers hit with the drought have a poor yield and double whammy of low bushels for the payment. See, this is my big problem with the payment, it rewards farmers that happen to also hit a jackpot on yield this year. If the payment was based on historic county yields, that would be fairer and be a little bigger check for those of us that got the rains that Missouri should`ve gotten. You get 100 bushel beans this year, God bless you, but you don`t exactly need a potential $160/acre payment on top where the poor guy with 1/3rd the yield gets a check for 50 bucks a acre
