On This Day | The Realities of a Commodity Economy
Author

There is just one thing for American farmers to learn from this spectacle of Russian wheat being placed on the world market. This is that American farmers cannot compete with Russia in wheat production. As long as American farmers produce a surplus their wheat price is governed by the world situation and Russian wheat may dominate the world market in the not too distant future. It is already beginning to do so. American wheat farmers must reduce their acreage to meet the needs of the domestic market. In that way the tariff on wheat will be made effective.

Why We Chose It
Economies and prices — especially of commodities commonly grown in North Dakota – are subject to forces both beyond our border and in individual decisions. It makes tampering with the delicate balance that emerges fraught with consequences. In our own time, if President Trump can outplay the invisible hand, we may win. But the invisible hand has fooled many with big egos and grand central plans in the past. We will see. And maybe learn, too.
