After we complete the destructing the economy and turn Argentina into a complete government controlled state, we will begin issuing black pajamas and flat tops for our peasants to work the fields. North Korea has it right and has given us here in South America some very good pointers in controlling the idiots we govern. Agrarian Mercosur .......the best thing for South America.

These impressively exaggerated numbers were quite a shock to the Farmers!

Yes, I bet they have been driving around their fields wondering WTF the rest is.

You don't think, do you, that these inflated figures are the precursor to TMBOA confiscating the farms that don't give the 'required' yields? No, surely not!

This was rather surprising, if accurate... Particularly since there have been so much doom and gloom regarding agriculture from Argieland earlier.

If the maize isn't poisoned by chemicals this might be an Argentine success story.

Savour and frame it amigos!

Can believe it or not, the numbers are true.
Still, these figures are a failure.
With the capacity, efficiency and knowledge of the Argentine producer, and technology, today the figure should be 150 tons.
105 tons is a total failure, Mrs. CFK.
