I don't understand why no one has stated (a lot more than normal) or (a bit more than average) or ( fewer than average). It seems to me that people are reporting acurate information. It's like having an election with the outcome being 21,000 for and 20,995 against. It just doesn't make sense. In my area, it looks like there is about the same amount of beans planted. If we all planted more, beans would be $3.00 a bushel. Farmers somehow know how much to plant, without over or under planting. Leave the farmers alone and they will do the best job that they can. Farmers know how to make a profit if they are left alone to do the job. They always get the best yeld per acre, and provide a safe affordable product for the US consumer. Paul Wilde flag as improper
