This Too Shall Pass
“It’s hard to be positive when you’re doing something for nothing.”
Folks, let’s be honest here, this sucks. There’s no point in even trying to sugarcoat this situation because there’s not enough sugar in the entire world to even begin to cover it (mainly because all the sugar has been used in everyone’s quarantine baking). Every which way you look at it, it’s not a pretty picture.
Coming from a grain farm, I feel the only thing I’m actually qualified to give my opinion on is corn and soybeans, but I think it’s pretty clear that the entire industry is currently falling apart. We’ve got dairy farmers dumping milk, hog producers desperately trying to find a place for their animals in order to avoid euthanizing them, corn below three dollars, and piles of rotting vegetables with nowhere to go.
When I was an agronomist in Michigan back in 2016, I can remember talking with my customers about how that year just had to be the bottom of the cycle and that things had nowhere to go but up after that growing season was over. When I moved back to Indiana and was working as an account manager selling seed, I can remember talking with my customers every year about how this time it really was going to be the bottom of the cycle because how could it possibly get any worse? When I came back to the farm to work for my dad in 2019…….well, I think we all know how 2019 went. Seriously, how could anything be worse than 2019?! Yet, here we are.
2020 was supposed to be great. We all made it through 2019, and the light at the end of the tunnel was 2020. This was supposed to be the year things got better, but so far it just feels like getting kicked while you’re already down.
Now, I know it sounds like I’m being a total negative Nellie here (which I am a little bit), and I understand the importance of keeping a positive attitude, but I also think it’s important to acknowledge when things aren’t going the greatest. I mean, it’s always the ones who constantly have a smile plastered on their face who snap and go on a killing spree. In all seriousness though, sometimes it’s the folks who are always positive and lifting others up who are struggling the most.
It’s heartbreaking to know that there are going to be family farms that made it through the drought of 2012 and the eighties and shoot, even the Great Depression that aren’t going to make it through this. It’s heartbreaking to see pictures of the aftermath of farmers having to make one of the hardest decisions of their careers to euthanize their animals. It’s heartbreaking to see the effect this situation has on your own family members who aren’t even excited to put a crop in the ground this year knowing that unless things turn around, we’re growing it for a loss.
Things will eventually turn around (they always do, don’t they?), and we’ll see that uptick in the cycle we’ve all been praying for and waiting on for the last five years. Until then though, know that it’s okay to be a negative Ned or Nellie for a hot second as long as you don’t live your entire life that way. Sometimes it’s harder on your mental health to force yourself to constantly be positive and keep a smile on your face than to simply let yourself be frustrated for a little bit or to talk to someone about how you’re feeling.
Some of your neighbors, friends, and family are going through a very dark time right now with little to no light at the end of the tunnel. And while we are all anxious for the day this all becomes a memory or a seasoned story we tell our children and grandchildren at the local diner sitting less than six feet apart, we have to be sure to take time right now to check in on each other. It’s hard to find anyone in the ag community whose livelihood, mental health, and even faith aren’t being shaken by this pandemic and the problems it’s created. We are hurting as an industry, as a community, as a family.
Know that you’re not alone in this and that people everywhere are praying for you, your family, and your farm. If I had to choose only one word that best described farmers and ranchers, it would be resilient. My God, are the folks raising this country’s crops and livestock resilient. We’ve made it through hard times before, and we’ll not only make it through this, but we’ll come out stronger on the other side; we just need to have a little faith that God’s got this under control.
“Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.” Romans 12:12

My process for recovery has been kind of a bumpy process because of the fake recovery agents I encountered. However with the support given to me by RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY SERVICES, I have collectively succeeded in recouping my locked up BTC Assets valued at $326,790 within the space of 48 hours !! Or rather the team worked hard on my behalf, I only had to provide them with a few details regarding my investment with the fraud company and they did the rest for me. Prior to meeting RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY FIRM, I had met a few recovery agents as well, that only seemed to care about their service fee similar to what the fraud company was doing to me and at some point I almost gave up the believe that I would ever get back my money but today I’ve done full circle to come back here and give my own thankful review since I learnt about the team through the many reviews on here. I feel ready to take on the world with my new found awareness and RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY on my team! … I wish they would create more awareness platforms and opportunities to help enlighten more people about crypto and how best to navigate the digital financial landscape, this will surely help to reduce the fast spreading fraudulent activities going on here & there and save potential investors from falling prey!. Glad I know it now and I can teach it to my children so they wont make the same mistakes I did. You can also contact them via their official Email address: RIGHTWAYLAWRECOVERYSERVICE@GMAIL (.) COM or

I LOST MY CRYPTOCURRENCY TO SCAMMERS / HOW DO I RECOVER IT BACK / HIRE A HACKER TO RECOVER YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER
Hello, everyone here. I am here to give a testimonial on how I met one of the best Hackers so far in my incredible moment of pain. I was taken advantage of by a fake cryptocurrency investment company pretending to help people double their investments. I lost a huge amount of money to a fake investment company. I invested 108,000 USD in this investment company with the belief that I will have a huge return when it was time for me to get my return. The company no longer picks my calls or replies to my email. I was so devastated. I was told Bitcoin is impossible to trace once you lose it but after coming across a post about GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER, a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company. I contacted them immediately and was able to recover everything I lost. I’m sharing this with anyone who might need their services. Their contact is
