“Right now, there are huge subsidies around the world for farmers to plant corn, maize, for instance, so that they can be converted into energy. If energy prices go higher, there will be even more of that. ...
... genetically-modified crops will increase productivity. What makes you so bullish on agriculture?
It doesn’t matter. The world has been consuming more than it produced. Food inventories are at a multi-decade low. And we haven’t had any bad weather. We had isolated cases of droughts and things. That may never happen again. But if it does, the prices of food would go through the roof.
If there is climate change taking place, the best way to participate is through agriculture or through agriculture products. There are many positive things happening. Right now, there is a shortage of everything in agriculture seeds, fertilisers, tractors, tractor tyres. We have a shortage of farmers because farming has been a horrible business for the past 30 years. ....”

Really? My Dad is a farmer, started out dirt poor 30 years ago and now is quite comfortable, as are most of the other farmers around here. It is not the bankers, doctors, and accountants who are the wealthiest around here, it is the farmers. I wish I would have bought up thousands of acres of farmland at $200-300 acre like my Dad did.
What?!? Droughts and bad weather will never happen again??? He made such an idiotic statement there and I suppose the msm ignored it. Sure, placate the sheeple with rainbows and unicorns and oh so very nice weather but when the floods and droughts come, he buys up all the land cheap and in return food prices go through the roof. Plan #896 to destroy America has been put into play.
