Faith
One of our neighbors told me last week that he picked up his corn seed. He paid $65,000 for the seed.
One of our customers started planting corn last week. He has a 36-row planter.
When I started farming, we had a 4-row planter and corn seed cost $50 a bag. Today, it is $300 a bag. We sold our corn for $3.85/ bushel. Today the price is $4.31 per bushel.
A farmer has to have faith that God is going to send rain and bless their crop. The astronomical cost of inputs to make a crop and some years to lose money is very hard on farmers.
Jesus states in Matthew 16 vs 20 “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.”
We can all have faith that Jesus loves us and will take care of us. If you are going through a trial, go to the Lord in prayer. He will help you and will always be there for you.
Your fellow auctioneers are there for you as well. We will lift you up in prayer. We have auctioneers who contact us for prayers for health issues or if a loved one goes to be with the Lord. If you have a need, let us know.
It is time to renew your FCAI dues. Thank you for your support of this ministry.
