<< pay $2.00 per bushel for corn and carry a sack full on his 
shoulder making a thirty mile.round .trip for one sack.>>

    I don't have today's paper here to check, but isn't $2.00 about what
corn is going for at this time? That should answer any questions as to why
the farm economy is.... to use polite language.... in deepest doodoo.
