Business as Usual

Okay, but... Are there only 2129 farmers in Iowa? What is the significance of that number? If it's just the amount of farmers that the three CEO salaries combined happen to equal, then pick the highest salary of the three and tell us the farmers that one guy represents, it's more powerful. Or if the three are very similar, say "each" equals "more than" the farmers the poorest CEO gets. It's a good concept, it's just clunky. There's more power in fewer words.

It may be a humorous play on numbers for industry insiders. 12 USC 2129
deals with banking and loans for farm cooperatives.
