All grains have popped up in the past year. Most of that is due to the cost of transportation, and that is fuel. The gov’t allowed the retailers to factor in the new cost of fuel about a year ago and it is showing up in the supermarket on everybody’s faces.

When/why/how didn’t the government “allow” retailers to factor in the cost of fuel on prices?

Don't forget the impact of ethanol and biofuels production.
