Not shocking news really. The U.S. has always been full of lefty "GOOBERS".

Never happen, the government's approach is to destroy the excess product rather than lower the price and get more customers.

Farmers won't lose because their government crop program guarantees them $355 per ton. The losers could be federal taxpayers who pay the difference between the guaranteed price and the actual market value of the peanuts. Well it didn't work for buggy whips but I guess it works for peanuts. I bet Jimmy Carter gets some of my money.

We already have it; it's called a diesel. Make all them excess goobers into biodiesel?
To: Hi Heels
Peanuts make peanut oil.
Peanut oil can be refined.
Refined oil can be put into cars.
I'lll have the honey-roasted unsalted 94-octane, please.

I bet peanut oil would run one of those diesels.

Blame the airlines for switching to pretzels. ;o) Actually, the recent attention to "peanut allergies" is likely to blame... Our county school district will not allow any peanut products in to classrooms starting in the '05-'06... Peanuts are really starting to scare people for some reason...

Seeing as how a surplus of a product without a matching demand generally drastically lowers the price, what is everyone's consensus on what peanut prices at MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL games will do in the future?
I predict 20% price INCREASES.
