> An Ohio State University farm management expert says Ohio corn and soybean farmers likely will break even or lose money in 2019, down from 2018 when record yields and government trade-aid payments boosted profits. The federal farm bill passed in December is budgeted at $426 billion over five years, and a farm bill summit is planned for April 11 in Versailles, Ohio.
