Frustration

While more details are available about the bridge payments, there’s still frustration in farm country. Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers President Kevin Leiser appreciates a helping hand to deal with a very difficult farm economy. “But, I liken it to you get a big cut on your arm and you put a little Band-Aid over it, well, you’re still bleeding.” Leiser, who farms at Fertile, Minnesota, said something has to change. “Right now, the saddest part about wheat is we can’t even break even on it. To me, that’s just sad.”
