Looks like rain in southern Michigan tonight. That will be about twice since May.

Locally, at the Cavanagh Company, in Greenville, one of the worlds leading manufacturers of altar breads, the Midwest drought has yet to make its impact felt. General Manager Andy Cavanagh said the company hasnt yet witnessed an increase in the price it pays for its wheat flour, although it has been notified by its supplier to expect higher prices in the near future as the price of wheat continues to rise.... ....Cavanagh said that the company operates 24 hours a day, and uses 100 pounds of wheat flour every 20 minutes, for a total of 1.9 million pounds a year. The altar breads are distributed to church goods stores and other retailers, such as convents, throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Africa and the Caribbean. He emphasized that because the company produces altar breads in volume, the cost to retailers should not be significantly higher.
From another thread:
The family boasts of an 80 percent market share in the United States, and similar or even greater percentages in Canada, England, and Australia. With those kinds of numbers, the Cavanagh Co. is the Microsoft of altar bread.... ....The company employs 36 full-time people making altar bread. The family is Roman Catholic, "but you certainly don't have to be Catholic to work here," said Brian. "It's a manufacturing company. There's no fake reverence for the product." Until the wafers are used by a priest in the celebration of the Eucharist, "it's just bread," he said.

I bet the drought is going to have an impact on prices on matzah made in America, too!
