Abstract
Crop agriculture has been on a roll. Corn and soybeans have provided positive returns three of the past four years. The 2011 crop year is shaping up to be the most profitable year on record. And futures prices for 2012 are offering sizable returns over projected production costs. So 2012 is shaping up to be an exciting market year for crop agriculture.
