the asian sweatshops dumping last years unsold product isnt indicitive of a glorious holiday season.
BS.
You’re going to see agricultural products that really start to move in greater quantities, in larger numbers, and that really benefits those consumers, and it really improves the balance of trade,” Steinke said in relation to Asian exports starting to catch up with imports. “The higher value exports are now moving to those nations

And who exactly does it help when commodity prices rise drastically? (including grain and oil)
No more money for shopping, if you want to eat!
I’ve never seen a blog as schizophrenic as the doubleclickpopupinsider. One day it’s doomsday, and the next is properity-just-around-the-corner.
Hmmmm...I’m looking at my budget, and I’m spending about the same this year as I did last...about 25 cards, envelopes, and stamps. No tree. Wreath on the door. That’s it.
I’m told by a trader that world wide, grain silos have been emptied. Next year there won’t be any surplus. It will be a world wide bidding war for grain. Those that can not afford grain, will bid up corn, soybeans.
It will be good for farmers, farm economies, exports.
Expect higher bread, cereal, chicken, beef and pork prices. Don’t be expecting your boss to give you a raise, either. And tough cookie for welfare, SSI people.
Went to the mall yesterday and had to park across the street, again. Second weekend in a row.

Our transportation business is 99% agricultural bulk commodiites.
We’ve never been so busy for August in 30 years. Something’s up!

Do I owe you money? LOL
The UK which is going through final stages of Islamification is suffering where English people (whites) who do not get endless freebies like asylum seekers (muslims) are search for food bargains. Like squirrel. The UK will become an even nastier place as the invaders population booms.
This was all done by the Labour Party and left media including Rupert Murdoch (Fox News). The same thing is happening in America. Keep watching TV folks cause TV helps them.
" Russia is caving after reports that a wheat ban would cause food riots in Egypt and South Africa. Another reason for wheat prices to keep sliding."
That’s better, lol!
My condolences on living in CA. It is the canary in the coal mine when it comes to America's future. It is going down the toliet and things will only get worse. It is a real shame.
We won’t be contributing too much to the economy... saving and hoping is the rule of the day in this disaster of an economy.
Russia has had another disaster in agriculture this summer, with unseasonably warm temperatures and drought. Moscow is currently under a smothering blanket of smog from raging wildfires.
Last week, the Russians announced they were stopping all wheat exports. India has been rumored to be already hoarding grain in anticipation of supply problems --- they were hit hard a few years ago when a similar situation developed.
Russia wildfires: Thick, toxic smog chokes Moscow residents
Fires Still Burning Around Moscow
