And no mistake. But unless you have a housing development at the edge of a
cornfield in Iowa or a homestead in the vast flats of Nebraska, what does
this
mean to you. Will your own acreage be wanted to grow corn?

There's not enough continuous room on my place to turn a corn harvester
around.

What the article no doubt means to say, there is a demand for agribusiness
feasible farmland.

And then only as long as the subsidies hold out.

Which might not be long. </HTML>
