I call this year "I'm so glad I own a farm" year. We've all
noticed the price increases of food and gas. I've been asking other farmers to
learn the scoop. My buddy, Steve Nowak, an organic farmer that grows wheat and
barley, says it's the first time in a long time that farmers are making some
real cash and doing well. Most of the farmers that I've talked to are grain producers;
most are making good money because they grow corn now, and corn prices have
increased due to ethanol demand.
