Pretty much going to see deflation. For me it would help make ag land more affordable. Unless my health fails, I should be in this business another 20 - 25 years. I can't currently compete with those who get money from inheritances, lawsuits, etc. to bid on land. Obviously, not good for those about to retire. Alot of countries accross the world will probably go back to historic purchasing levels meaning less consumption on beans and grains lowering commodity prices. What's unique about this downturn is certain suppliers have cartel type abilities to restrict output. We all know about OPEC, but the fertilizer dealer told me that the potassium and phosphorus suppliers have already gone to short term shutdowns to restrict supply. Nitrogen suppliers have gone from dozens (10 to 15 years ago) to under 10. Similar situation with seed companies. Gonna make for high cost to do business.

Restricted credit might shock people back to sensible purchases. I'm not for harsh cutbacks by any means but it might make the country financially healthier in the long run.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
