I read a FReeper comment on another thread that we were going to have a bumper wheat crop...don't know how true it is.
I've read the same --- it's even mentioned in one of my links in posting #20 --- but I haven't looked at it otherwise.
I had noticed the Russian fire story only today although it apparently has been going on for a while, and realized that it was likely tied into last week's mention of the wheat export ban.
