This has been going on since 2000.

We are in a gradual but accelerating cool-down into the next Ice Age.

10 years from now you will have forgotten about such things as orange juice, and no matter how you trim your apples and pears they will no longer bear more than a couple of dozen fruit.

Invest now in blueberries and lingon berries.

Well, at least we can plant more apple trees. We have more apples on our place than we can eat, and we put a bunch of applesauce in the freezer every fall. We also have neighbors with a cider press.

But the basic fact is that all foods are rising in price. Time to get those damned politicians to kill the ethanol subsidies and the gasoline requirement. That won’t be easy, because there’s a lot of graft involved.

Long ago my parents planted a mini citrus grove, 10 apple trees, a few peach, pear and plum. They grew up in the depression.

A bitterly cold winter in Florida, the main orange growing area of the world, affected harvests, while similar cold weather in China, one of the main producers of the world's apples, wiped out 40 percent of apple harvests in some parts of the country.

Darned you AlGore!!!!

the hits just keep on coming.

you may have seen my report about some usually mild mannered people I see around town who are rising to boil. The little lady at my bank fairly shrieked today when she said that it is all moving so fast and every morning brings a new crisis.

But do you think that will reverse in one or two years of normal crop yields?

In the past OJ was always prone to overproduction it seemed, and therefore vulnerable to lower prices.

Or is this just wishful thinking on my part?

We have had some really good prices on Texas Grapefruit and oranges here. Guess the problem has not affected us that much here. Shipping is an issue on most produce.
The grocery ad I will take with me shopping tomorrow has:
 10 lbs. #1 Russet Potatoes for $1.99
 1-gal. Milk for $2.00
 Lettuce 2 heads for $1.00
 3 lbs. Red Delicous apples for $1.00
 Siroloin tip steak for $2.79 per lb.
 Round Roast for $2.99 per lb.
 48 oz. Corn Oil for $1.50

Pork is up a little, but I bought a 10 lb. box of bacon last week for $20.00

Overall I don't see that much grocery inflation in basic food items here. And I cook very good meals from simple basic items.

Food would be more affordable to families if there were no divorce. http://considerandhearme.wordpress.com/

You mean we can’t just go to the store where they make it?

Well I’m glad that somebody can get rich while people have to go with dehydrated chemical substitutes to provide for their family...
