The main reason prices are falling is that we are coming off the biggest commodities boom in history. 2008-2013 saw record setting prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat. Really, things are just returning to normal now that the boom is over. As you would expect, marketing corn is more challenging now, after the boom, but there is still opportunity for money to be made. The thing about these crops is that the market price can swing by fairly large amounts in the matter of days, so the fact that a losing venture today can become a huge profit opportunity next week keeps people interested. There is no lack of people keen to buy land and equipment if someone really wants out of the business, but we're not that bad off yet.
