It was a grand occasion, as every general officer and Admiral of the US Military was brought together in one room to discuss the new directives and priorities of the newly renamed US Department of War.For days, speculation has raged as pundits and analysts have tried to determine the meeting's agenda. What was so vital that Secretary Pete Hegseth would bring all the military "brass" together in one location? In itself, this was a reckless and dangerous move, a temptation for any enemy to decapitate, in one fell swoop, the Nation's military leadership.

It was late in 2024 that most soy farmers settled on their plans for this year. And what a year 2024 had been. It was one of the most highly profitable years for soybeans ever. And for the many farmers who had switched to the "beans" a decade before, they must have felt prescient.
