humanity and common sense.

Corn was down the limit on 30 June based on USDA's entirely false and
patently disingenuous rosy crop
report, as speculators took their profits and ran. But you can see that
the corn did not continue
downward today, as the market looks out at a pretty lousy corn crop and
hears the piston scraping on this
Hell-Bound Express fueled by Ethanol, "but the train it wont stop going,
no way to slow down."
Everything in Agriculture is connected. Land going to corn drives down
soybean acres.
The demand for soy oil also drives up soybean prices.
Nobody seems to notice, no one seems to care that high grain prices
starve poor people,
and the money donated to feed the poorest goes half as far when the
price doubles. A day
will come when Attitude and fresh B.S. won't get the ticket punched.
