• American farmers say bailout doesn't solve underlying problem (yorkdispatch.com) — A Leland corn and soybean farmer describes today’s farm economy as a “train wreck in slow motion,” warning that bailouts are only a short-term fix. He and other growers nationwide are struggling with low soybean prices, rising costs, and uncertainty over trade with China, raising fears that more family farms could be lost without long-term policy and market changes.
