Is there something we are missing? I do not get it. I do not get why a farmer would grow malting barley at that price. Is there something missing here that we do not see? It does not seem to make sense that if they can make a much better profit in other areas that they would continue to do it. Is there something that the witness is not telling us about where growers are getting money from in this? Is the straw going to give them a large profit or something else? I cannot see it and I just wonder is there something missing.
