When you said you don’t like subsidies I think you forgot about all the subsidies the ethanol industry receives. That has a large impact on your corn prices.
    After you are finished with your harvest I would like you to revisit the trade issue. In August you talked about pissing off our neighbors to the north and south. Now less than two months later we have a new deal with them. So what is your opinion on this deal.
