On our recent trip from Southeast Texas to Upper Michigan and beyond, we saw many thousands of acres of crops in the field, and with the exception of a few places – mostly in South Dakota – where flood waters had drowned crops or prevented planting, everything looked great.
We saw fields of wheat and soybeans, potatoes and sugar beets and popcorn, rice and peanuts, and hay fields full of sorghum and alfalfa.
And we saw miles and miles of corn fields – already being harvested in the South, and just beginning to tassel in the Upper Midwest.
In those corn fields we saw sign after sign for Ethanol and/or Bio-Diesel. Almost makes you wonder if there will be any left to eat.
