The farm bill makes trading grain futures a waste of time imo. The market is fixed by the government and there's no connection with a free market. Pretty hard to speculate in that environment.

FArmers know everything about commodities. I wouldn't bet against them very often. They can be subject to emotional and inflexible thinking on occassion too. You cannot blame them for being skeptical about agricultural prices ever rising again for long. They've had some very hard times for the past 20 years.. that's a generation in most books. The past 20 yrs. were not ideal for farming as an occupation.
It was, however, a great 20 years for owning land..
