L'expression « travailler pour des prunes » signifie « travailler pour rien », « sans résultat » ou « sans être payé ». L'explication la plus répandue situe l'origine de l'expression au XIIe siècle, après la Deuxième Croisade (1147–1149). À cette époque, les Croisés européens, en particulier les Français, sont partis en Terre sainte pour libérer Jérusalem. L'expédition fut un échec militaire retentissant. Mais les Croisés ne sont pas revenus totalement les mains vides : ils ont rapporté avec eux, entre autres, des pruniers de Damas, un fruit jusque-là inconnu en Occident. C'est ainsi que la prune de Damas, ou prune damassine, est introduite en France.Or, ramener des pruniers alors qu'on visait la conquête de lieux saints fut vite tourné en dérision : on disait qu'ils avaient « fait la guerre pour des prunes », autrement dit, pour pas grand-chose. L'expression est donc née sur un fond d'échec militaire, mais elle a peu à peu glissé vers un usage plus général : faire quelque chose pour rien, sans profit.« Travailler pour des prunes » vient donc d'une moquerie lancée contre les Croisés revenus bredouilles de Damas.Deuxième expression.L'expression « un choix cornélien » désigne une décision extrêmement difficile à prendre, où chaque option implique un sacrifice ou un dilemme moral. Elle vient directement du nom du dramaturge Pierre Corneille (1606–1684), l'un des grands auteurs du théâtre classique français.Une origine littéraire : les tragédies de CorneillePierre Corneille est célèbre pour ses tragédies dans lesquelles les personnages sont confrontés à des conflits déchirants entre le devoir et les sentiments, entre l'honneur et l'amour, ou encore entre la fidélité à sa patrie et ses liens personnels.Le meilleur exemple est sa pièce Le Cid (1637), où le héros, Rodrigue, doit venger l'honneur de son père en tuant le père de la femme qu'il aime, Chimène. Ce choix impossible — devoir filial ou amour passionné — incarne ce qu'on appelle désormais un choix cornélien.Caractéristiques d'un choix cornélienUn vrai choix cornélien se distingue par :L'absence de « bonne » solution : chaque issue entraîne une perte importante.Un conflit moral ou affectif profond.Une tension dramatique : le personnage est tiraillé entre deux valeurs nobles (et non entre le bien et le mal).C'est donc le poids de la grandeur d'âme ou de l'héroïsme qui rend le choix cornélien particulièrement cruel.

Listen to the SF Daily podcast for today, September 01, 2025, with host Lorrie Boyer. These quick and informative episodes cover the commodity markets, weather, and the big things happening in agriculture each morning. Friday was the end of the old crop marketing year for corn and soybeans, with the livestock complex mixed but lower due to profit-taking and overbought technical levels. Concerns include the lack of Chinese new crop demand for U.S. soybeans, with 7.2 million metric tons sold but none to China. China has booked 16.3 million metric tons of soybeans, primarily from South America and Australia. Canadian wheat production is down 1.1% to 35.49 million metric tons, with a 14.3% increase in winter wheat and a 3.6% rise in canola. Corn production is up 1.4% to 15.55 million metric tons, while soybean production is down 7% to 7 million metric tons. Weather notes highlighted potential heavy rain in the Mississippi River Valley.

The corn market sprinted higher into the weekend. Listen to Pat and Mike discussing the move and why it happened.
Grains and livestock closed the month of August on a strong note, with both complexes showing surprising resilience. On today's Final Bell, livestock market analyst Kyle Bumsted joins Bryce Doeschot to break down the action. Key highlights include: Short covering & commercial buying: What fueled late-session strength in corn, soybeans, and cattle. Global signals: Why South American weather and even coffee prices are worth watching for grain traders. Cattle cash trade: Southern Plains bids pushing $242–$243, with feeders still red-hot. North vs. South: The differences in grading and why cash trade varies across regions. Looking ahead: Technical levels to watch after Labor Day and whether corn's early fall low is in. Bumsted explains why feeder cattle sellers may be “in the driver's seat” right now, but also warns the market is only one headline away from sharp moves.
The National Corn Growers Association issued a report saying corn prices have dropped about 50 percent since hitting a peak in 2022. However, the cost of production has declined only modestly, making the production of corn unprofitable. NAFB News ServiceSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. John Snyder has spent the last two weeks looking at John Newton's seasons of the Christian life, which he likens to a growing stalk of corn. The Christian life starts as a blade sprouting from the soil. Then there is a small, immature, but very real fruit showing. Lastly, the season we are discussing this week is the mature Christian life. Each stage has its distinguishing marks, and this season is marked by contemplation. The mature believer learns and grows not only by studying Scripture and applying it to his life but also by looking at how God providentially moves, convicts, and grows other believers. This growth of wisdom and maturity comes with a warning. The mature believer must beware the temptation to think of himself as more powerful in himself. It is actually the opposite. The believer is more dependent on Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We are running a giveaway this week for Select Letters of John Newton.

Guest: Dr. Martin Austin Nesvig Book: The Women Who Threw Corn: Witchcraft and Inquisition in 16th Century MexicoDr. Martin Austin Nesvig takes us into colonial Mexico's magical underground, where cultural exchange happened in kitchens between women of different backgrounds. This isn't your typical witch hunt story—Mexico never had mass executions or crazes. The Spanish Inquisition there was more interested in heretics than magical practitioners.But women still took risks. From enslaved women casting freedom spells to Spanish settlers experimenting with peyote (the first documented non-indigenous use), these stories reveal how people navigated colonial power and sought agency in their lives.You'll hear about love magic with personal ingredients and indigenous divination techniques. Plus the demographics of colonial Mexico City, where Spanish women were less than 20% of the population.This episode flips the expected colonial narrative—showing how native practices influenced the colonizers themselves. A story of adaptation, survival, and unexpected cultural blending.Hosts: Sarah Jack and Josh Hutchinson Also check out: The Thing About Salem (weekend podcast)Buy the Book: The Women Who Threw Corn by Martin Austin NesvigThe Thing About Salem YouTubeThe Thing About Salem PatreonThe Thing About Witch Hunts YouTubeThe Thing About Witch Hunts

For this episode we're exploring harvest folklore throughout the world, and how it connects to the genre of folk horror. From the sunlit dread of Lady Midday stalking the fields of Eastern Europe to the vengeful rice paddy ghosts of Japan, nearly every farming culture told tales of spirits among the grain. We'll wander those stubbled fields and deserted farms, listening for the whispers of harvest-time spirits: the Harvest Watchers and Field Spirits that people once believed lurked within the furrows.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of The Final Bell, Heather Ramsey with the ARC Group in Lincoln breaks down a volatile day in the markets. It was a tale of two halves on the trade floor, with early weakness giving way to late support. Key topics include: Wheat on the move: Major export sales spark momentum. Corn demand abroad: The world shows strong appetite for U.S. supplies. Pro Farmer reflections: Yield realities versus expectations. Keys for the week: What to watch as harvest approaches. Ramsey highlights what's driving the markets now and the critical signals traders and producers should keep an eye on.
Sorry for the delay, we were on vacation on Friday. Market Updates for last week below!BEEF: Prices keep climbing across the board – ribeyes, tenderloins, chucks, and rounds are all on fire. With packers still losing money, production dropping, and the Southern border closed to live animal imports, pressure is building. Relief may come after Labor Day – but will it be too little, too late?POULTRY: Chicken stays strong with production up and demand steady – wings are flat for now while breasts and tenders ease a bit. Football season could give wings a lift, but the real watch is Avian Flu: after six clean weeks, a new case breaks the streak. Will cooler weather bring more trouble?GRAINS: Harvest is underway and while yields look good, they're not record-shattering just yet. Corn is holding under $4 for a third straight week, soy is showing some strength on export demand, and wheat is slipping. The market looks steady – but will exports or tariffs be the wild card?PORK: Bellies look like they've peaked, slipping back to $182 from last week's $194 – and likely heading lower into fall. With butts and loins down and ribs steady, pork remains one of the best buys on the menu. But is this the break buyers have been waiting for, or just a seasonal pause?DAIRY: After a couple of big weeks higher, the market eased back – barrel down 1½, block steady, and butter slipping just ½. The push has cooled for now, but will those gains start to melt further in the weeks ahead?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Tonight, we'll read “Pop Corn Recipes” by Mary Hamilton Talbott, published in 1916. Corn was domesticated about 10,000 years ago, in what is now Mexico. Archaeologists discovered that people have known about popcorn for thousands of years. Fossil evidence from Peru suggests that corn was popped as early as 4,700 BC. Through the 19th century, popping of the kernels was achieved by hand, on stove tops. During the Great Depression, popcorn was fairly inexpensive at 5–10 cents a bag and became popular. Thus, while other businesses failed, the popcorn business thrived and became a source of income for many struggling farmers, including the Redenbacher family. The snack was popular at theaters, much to the initial displeasure of many of the theater owners, who thought it distracted from the films. Their minds eventually changed, however, and Popcorn became more profitable than theater tickets. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
