CORRECTS YEARS OF FARMING TO 43 INSTEAD OF 45 - Morey Hill stands near a barn on his farm, Friday, April 16, 2021, near Madrid, Iowa. In 43 years of farming, Hill had seen crop-destroying weather, rock-bottom prices, trade fights and surges in government aid, but not until last year had he endured it all in one season. Now, as Hill and other farmers begin planting the nation's dominant crops of corn and soybeans, they're dealing with another shift _ the strongest prices in years and a chance to put much of the recent stomach-churning uncertainty behind them.
