Grain farmers in the US are accustomed to dealing with bearish and bullish markets – however a bearish harvest might be a first.

One American farmer got a surprise while harvesting maize lately when seven grizzly bears dashed ahead of his combine.

They scattered out of the stalks in a corn field in Montana as the header approached them.

Not known as a social animal, Grizzly bears will tolerate others when there is an abundant food source and evidently, this supply of corn on the cob proved too tempting. The Dealer grew up thinking the woods were where bears might go for a picnic but that all appears to have changed.
