Also, on higher food prices:

Wheat is at a very high price currently due to acres being sown in corn for ethanol rather than in their usual wheat for well...wheaty uses...bread, doughnuts, cookies, Wheaties, etc ad nauseum

Other parts of the world have had crappy wheat yields in their harvests which isn’t helping.

Wheat is also high because of a severe drought in Australia....in fact that might be the principal reason....

Dryland wheat country can't really grow corn in any large quantity.
