(24,411 posts)...and the latest crop report indicates that 70 percent of the corn in the state is lost--totally fried. I've never seen anything close to this. The cornfields all around here look like someone took a torch to them.
I'm a bit mystified because the field in these Romney photos looks great. I saw many cornfields today and they were ell brown and withered.
Interesting about this farmer. He is a multimillionaire. He owns 40 farms and he is a big corporate farmer. He's also a real-estate mogul and a concert snd event promoter. He's certainly not a typical farmer. He lives in a huge, infamous house that looks lik a spaceship. It's huge and worth at least several million. That house is 15 minutes from our house and I've seen it many times. I can tell you thus much--that's a one percent farmer for sure.
Can Romney even try--for a few minutes--to meet with regular people???
"Ok guys, I need to meet with a farmer, but please, a regular guy. Someone with a large mansion, preferably in the shape of an exotic spacecraft. And please no old dirty farmers. You know that cheap flannel gives me hives."
