I remember when there were canning factories in most small rural towns in my Midwest area. I worked for the canning factories a few summers.

Good weather in my area means that corn and soybean crops are being harvested.

the talk in my coffee shop is either real estate, sports or retirement issues.

-- sorry for falling off topic --

I'd like to know more about macro-economics as it pertains to agriculture.
