I imagine the Canadians might dispute that. If Brazil does go commie, things will be looking up for the economies of Iowa, Kansas, and the rest of the Midwest. Their centrally planned farms will reduce world grain supplies, propping up the prices for the good ol' Midwestern farmer.
Great -- then maybe the farmers could get off government welfare.
Brazil isn't exactly a major grain producer. They do, however, export large quantities soybeans.
Actually, in an odd way, Lula will be a boon to Brazil's farmers, as they've been struggling to compete with US exports on the global market. Lula's canidacy has already dropped the Real through the floor, and if he gets elected, it should fall further. A deflated currency makes Brazil's exports cheaper, and so they sell more. QED.
