Make no mistake, agriculture is at the beginning of a major multi-year bull market. Weve got rapidly growing demand, reduced production, and decade low inventories.
This is an absolute recipe for disaster.

All I can say is, I guess my employment in the Ag sector is secure.

the Feds phony measures show that vegetable prices are up 13%!
Let’s cut to the chase - what’s the impact on Kobe Beef prices?

The first and hardest hit will be those countries in which large numbers of humans are living on a few dollars a day. They will be the canaries in the coal mine.

Many countries around the world can choose to invest in agriculture or weapons, and they choose weapons. I don’t like the food grown for fuel idea, but a lot of the blame should not fall on us.

This is an absolute recipe for disaster. Or the absolute recipe for some profits.

To: HangnJudge
All we need is a bit more bad weather (Spring flooding already predicted for much of the US Wheat Belt) and for the price of oil to skyrocket and for many the situation will easily upgrade a from plain disaster to one of Biblical proportions.

Maybe some truth but a fair amount of BS or at least fast-and-loose here.
Corn for one. Here is hard data showing US corn production has been increasing significantly year-over-year and has reached record levels:

Some has been driven by ethanol, sure. But that corn could be diverted to food instead, the point is we are producing it already. No shortage.
Whenever some blogger trying to pimp his website and/or book and/or newsletter claims there’s “reduced production” and “decade low inventories” without any proof, it becomes accepted as fact (?)
