Next American farm bust? Outlook on ag economy?

Abbreviated Question: 
Next American farm bust? Outlook on ag economy?
Answer: 

While it is true that, in general, farmers are still facing high production costs.  They have also seen some of those costs fall over the past couple of years.  And it is not true that they have nowhere to sell their products.  Crop and livestock markets have been very active, moving the record production to users.  The challenge has been capturing prices that are high enough to cover production costs.
