Could Monsanto and ADM be deliberately reducing the supply of soybean seed to increase the demand for corn seed?
That was my first thought. They have genetically engineered crops to produce infertile crops to prevent farmers from using some of their own crop as seed the following year. I read a article several years ago that predicted this outcome.
Next, it's the manipulation of base seed crops...higher energy...higher food.
It won't be pretty.
Look for a loaf of bread to be $5.50 in 18 months.
Because of the US deficit spending, we have left ourselves wide-open to global economic manipulation as the dollar declines and OPEC oil producers and global hedge fund giants tighten the noose around the necks of the average American.
Hope you like paying $4.25 / gallon for gas come Memorial Day.
That could be absolutely, but we grow sorghum seed for a large company, we plant it according to their schedule, a month too early, I could go on and on about how incompetent the whole thing is and the paltry yields. If they just let us farm it the way sorghum should be farmed and not by some kind of book interpreted by a few college ag grads who don’t have a clue, they would have seed running out their ears but no...the agronomists sitting in their offices a thousand miles from the farm, know better. The only reason we continue to grow for them is that they pay by the acre, it doesn’t matter what the yield is.
