We have had a very cold winter. This may also be a reason for concern.

I suspect that wheat will be short this year too. Drought and very cold winter.

I am not a commodities trader, but a producer of wheat seed.

I remember when we were fed the line, by congress, that putting ethanol in gasoline would keep gasoline prices low as if nobody, in congress LOL, saw this coming. Higher gasoline prices and higher food prices because of ethanol in gasoline. Action / Reaction syndrome ignored by congress again. congress is outstanding in their stupidity.

Peppers are easy to grow, even here in the winter wonderland, but apparently not enough people did it, because the off-season prices are around $1 each.

> inventories... jumped 30 percent from a year earlier. Acreage is estimated to hit 91.691 million, down from 95.365 million a year earlier...
