Soy beans are up big. There is no "rotting on the vine" in soy beans going on. In fact your show your ignorance as soy beans do not grow on a vine. Soy bean pods grow on branches: Soybeans planted at high densities tend to grow taller and produce fewer branches, pods, and seeds per plant than those planted at low densities. High density soybeans also will set pods higher off the ground and have a greater tendency to lodge. Most farmers I know here in Wisconsin, hedge 1/2 of the crop and wait for the market to come around with the other half. A high school friend of mine's father plants beans and store them in his old AO Smith Harvester silo. A fan on the bottom blows cold air up through the stored beans and keeps them dry and cold . Soy beans are easier to store as they tend not mildew at higher humidity levels. This is not the first rodeo of difficult pricing for America's farmers. In fact it often happens every year - that's why crop insurance and hedging takes place. I think you are confusing your politics with ag prices. just sayin Bob
