Blame an 80 cent a loaf increase of RYE bread (which is of course partly wheat) on ethanol! Don't blame fuel costs, which have a direct impact on production and transportation (among other things). How many farmers have switched from planting wheat to planting corn?

Not very many as most extra corn acres came from
CRP and former cotton acres between 2006 and
2007. Now a whole bunch of wheat got planted on
corn acres after last falls corn harvest. Wheat harvest
July and part of that will be planted late year soybean
crop. Farmers will do all that is physically
and financially able to be done to produce.
If the speculators, oil people, and naysayers
don’t screw them up. . ..Ed
