"Buy wheat futures?"

Probably not a bad move.

We're headed to worldwide food shortages this year for a number of different reasons.

Actually, this was brought to my attention while I was watching CNBC, and that might be something to look at. Another thing that was discussed was the fact that wheat is generally such a low margin product that there hasn’t been as much money or incentive to develop more advanced countermeasures to things like this as there is with other crops. This could actually create a brand new market for companies like Monsanto.
