I live near a port city, Portland, and the number of people this will effect is huge. People don't realize how many jobs go into transporting food.
Ships need to be piloted, docked, cleaned, inspected and loaded. There are people who's sole job is to drive around to train yards and gather grain for inspection. My own personal feeling is this is to get the UN to send hybrid seed purchased from Monsanto, as this seems to be the tack they take. Although there is a 10 to 20% production gain because of hybrid vigor, you will lose the gain because you are locked into purchasing seed for 4 times the cost.

Back in the 30’s and learly 40’s 60 bu of corn per acre was the norm. Today it is not uncommon to produce over 200 bu of corn per acre. due mainly to hybred seed and better plant nutrition management. That is where the 44 billion is gong overseas to feed the muslim population. Spread the wealth.
