On the drive from The Little House to the Condo there are many huge on-farm grain bins seen. Assuming that these bins hold much corn and soybeans and that those commodities are not contracted out at a low price there is prosperity ahead for many farmers. Chicago Board of Trade today reported corn at $6.55, Soybeans at $15.40 and wheat 7.10, all per bushel. Farmers expenses also rise for fertilizer, seed and herbicides but those commodity prices should still leave room for a hefty profit.
Downtown Minneapolis is quite deserted. There are fences, concrete barriers and windows covered with plywood. Many office workers are working remotely. Hopefully with the Chauvin trial over and the ebbing of the pandemic people will return. An article in the Minneapolis paper yesterday reported brisk sales of a luxury downtown condo under construction. The sales of downtown condos are recovering from the decline of some months ago and people are still wanting to move to center city.
DID YOU KNOW "phrases such as "a fool's paradise," "a sorry sight," "dead as a doornail," "Greek to me," "come what may," "eaten out of house and home," "forever and a day," "heart's content," "slept a wink," "love is blind," "night owl," "wild goose chase," and "into thin air."' came from Shakespeare; Writer's Almanac
