You're kidding, right?
Mr Lucky— There are other sources of protein that
people like. and if they go to them, it still has to
be supplied by farmers. The guys raising corn, soybeans,
wheat don’t care, as long as their gross exceeds the
expenses which is hard to accomplish. People complain
farmers raised food price but my guys get less for
their milk than years ago, so they cut milk herd a
little and just raised more corn to sell last couple
years.The only way they could keep going.And there is
no corn shortage, there is just to much speculating
money out there, raising the price of oil, corn,
gold etc. And the middleman uses this as an excues to add
many multiples of his extra expenses onto food and blames
it on corn and farmers. People really beleving
that nonsense really bothers me. At any one time
the cost of wheat, corn, etc in a loaf of of bread,
box of cereal, etc is a real small fraction, even at a decent price for farmers. The inflation is the other
costs, driven by energy... and greed.Ed
