[QUOTE="john250, post: 1117948, member: 4406"] The farm shakeout of the late 70's-early 80's started when Jimmuh Carter decided we could no longer sell Soybeans to the Soviet Union, cause they invaded Afghanistan. Beans were around 13-14$/bu when that started and sank to $4.50. Made a Republican out of me. Of course, we could look at Nixon's price controls on beef. That was wise economic policy, for sure. The common thread, is that no matter which party controls the govt. your biggest problem is the government. Sell everything you can at today's prices, because sooner or later the govt. is gonna screw you. [/QUOTE]
