"I grew up on a farm in Nebraska, where we grew mostly corn and soybeans." is the best opening line ever. So redundant.

- jedc 18y agoNot redundant; there are lots of things you can grow on a farm in Nebraska. (As a kid I grew up on a farm.) But it is a fun opening line.
- ojbyrne 18y agoI recently read "The Omnivore's Dilemma" which describes how the economics of subsidies available to farmers mean that corn and soybeans are crowding out every other crop. It was talking about Iowa mostly but I assume that the same economics apply to Nebraska.
- Tichy 18y agoI live far, far away from Nebraska and I have no idea what kind of farming they typically do there.
