It’s water. We’ve been depleting the aquifers to fast too long.

Notice where the authors write from

By Gregory Meyer in New York, Jack Farchy in London and Javier Blas in Geneva

Ask yourself, what food is produced in New York, London or Geneva? My bet is that the writers know absolutely "Zero" about food production, distribution or processing. All they know is that they saw some graph that some Global Trading Group put together. It is time to stop listening to this mess and get on with the job of feeding our families and living our lives.

I do plan a bigger garden next year, but I am not afraid of being hungry. I don't have a lot of money, but I have good neighbors (but a number still vote Dem).

Nothing the government does, at any level, can survive the constant meddling of bureaucrats year after year, decade after decade. We are one of the few counties in the world capable of feeding ourselves and a lot of the rest of the world. But a century plus of bureaucratic control of agriculture has placed us in a very precarious position.

I am not an overt isolationist, but darn it we should have first dibs on anything we produce. Especially things other countries can’t produce even if they try. And especially, especially when we have things they MUST have and they have things we MUST have. Take for instance, our food and their oil.

I am just absolutely fed up with government and every aspect of it at every level. It has been a house of cards far too long and it needs to be done away with completely and replaced with a fresh start.

I know it’s a pipe dream, but if we don’t do something it will be too late to do anything.

The agriculture department on Tuesday cut estimates of US corn yields for a third successive month,

Yeah? What is the Energy Dept.'s estimates of US corn yields.

Ahem!

Amen, bro.

That's why I'm already boycotting the 2011 NASCAR season.

I'll be damned if I'm going to sit there and watch cars fueled by corn for three hours and then be told countless times how wonderful it is while people are starving around the world.

That's right! I'm blaming NASCAR for world starvation! HA!

It’s called supply and demand although it’s the Feds who are cutting the supply. With preppers stocking up on grains, the government found a way to mess over the taxpayer.
