Ontario farmers of corn are facing a tough time this year. Corn prices have been driven down by expectations of a record crop in the United States, and with prices plummeting so fast - some farmers may not even try to sell some of their crop this year - sad to think that at the same time many countries are starving.

A beautiful photo, but bad news for the farmers. I'm originally from Iowa. I hadn't heard about the bumper crop in the US. What about the crazy biofuel industry?
Beautiful shot. I haven't heard of a bumper crop either. When we lived in IL there was lots of corn, but most of it was used for fuel or as absorbent material in diapers and such.
Beautiful fall colors, and that weathered barn looks at home in that environment. I hate hearing that food is getting wasted because of economics.....I hope there is a better solution for all.
Business is business - that is what they tell you. Have you never seen places where they dump or crush tons and tons of produce to keep the price high while people in lesser developed countries are starving to death. Beautiful capture.
This is a beautiful capture. Your commentary is so true and leaves me questioning why people are starving when much of the world is blessed and think nothing of waste.
