May 2020

in the fertile area where I was (this means that corn and soybeans were being harvested...poorer ground is only good for growing wheat) I visited the staging area in our small town where soybeans were being piled up to create a mound that, if natural, would be described as a hill. (corn went directly to the town's grain elevator)

I asked one local man there how much this pile/hill of soybeans was worth and after thinking a bit he told me "5 Million Dollars"! I was amazed and still am. And the harvest wasn't even over yet... That's a lot of potential food products from one small town/county!
