EXCLUSIVE: While Europe is on the brink of financial disaster and 14 million Americans look for work, U.S. farmers are on track to have their second-fattest year in almost four decades.

Fueled by big surges in so-called “super foods,” those who grow fruits and vegetables and raise livestock are expected to collectively make $100.9 billion in profit this year, a 28 percent increase over last year. That’s thanks to ample yields, surging prices and rising demand from diners abroad, according to a report released yesterday by the Agriculture Department.

 Annually over the past decade, farmers have harvested $75.6 billion in income on average.

Big Farm’s had it too easy for too long, I say! These tractor jockeys throw some seeds at the ground and tell Mother Nature to “start cultivatin’, if you know what’s good for ye,” while we simple folk toil away at our calculations and eye-pleasing infographics!
