Sorry to confuse you...
"Across the United States, grain farmers are plowing under crops, leaving them to rot or piling them on the ground, in hopes of better prices next year, according to interviews with more than two dozen farmers, academic researchers and farm lenders. It’s one of the results, they say, of a U.S. trade war with China that has sharply hurt export demand and swamped storage facilities with excess grain. "
I would assume that by saying across the United States, that the article is implying that this is a wide spread problem? I would also assume that by saying across the United States encompasses all of the United States and last I looked Nebraska was considered a State? Like I said I deal with farmers every day, from Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. I have been given no indication that there is a problem, nor have I had any of them they are plowing under crops, leaving them to rot, or piling them on the ground.
I would also like to apologize for my spelling/punctuation neither are strong points of mine.
