...prices, farmers continue to grow more on fewer acres through fertilization, mechanization and technology. Freeman indeed takes part of the blame for this year's bumper crop because he trusted all-but-unanimous warnings of impending poor harvests and drastically increased planting quotas, then watched in dismay as ideal weather brought in history's greatest yields-both of food and discontent...
