Invest in grain futures.
Invest in POTASH, a critical fertilizer for corn. Supplies are tight and getting tighter, as China, India and Brazil boost demand dramatically, along with the corn growers in the US.
Yeah, right. What a plan. Make a few bucks off the ruination of America.
I suspect the professional traders have already factored in tight supplies. The time to go long on corn futures would have been 6 months ago.
It’s going to get much worse. The western end of the corn belt, from Kansas to the Dakotas, and much of Iowa, are drowning in excess rain, and many acres haven’t been planted to corn this year. Some areas may not even dry out in time to plant soybeans. The other end of the belt—the southeast and mid-atlantic states—are suffering from a severe drought. It wouldn’t surprise me to see corn at $7.50/bushel by October.
