This is disturbing. Most small farmers can only survive 1 maybe 2 years of loses these days before going broke. I know of farmers in Northern Iowa who have been lucky to get most of their corn in this year, however, many in Southern Iowa are in bad shape. As of a couple weeks ago, only 30% of the yearly corn crop has been planted and like the article says, its too late to get a yield that will be profitable. Our thoughts and prayers to these hard working Americans.
