It'll come from you and me. insane!

When are farmers gonna learn we need to stay slightly behind the curve of demand to make money!!!!!

A system well designed to keep food cheap. We're sold it as precision farming and new technology and a starving world. Bullpuckies!

We need to see a little hunger in the right countries, not in the ones that will always be starving no matter how much food is produced.

You hit the nail on the head...

Precisely Tweety

[sumdumguy]

We're going to pay through the nose for the pleasure of producing cheap food.

[WiltonRanch]

Exactly Tweety. Many of the typical starving countries need to get their shit together because they have the potential to easily feed themselves. It's the likes of Saudi Arabia and much of the Middle East which has limited productive ability because of depleted aquifers. All fine if they have the money to take a position in foreign food production.

I have been told these third world people shud learn to help themselves first. They have a very hard time taking the advances we have helped them with and continuing them forward. Now we are gonna throw more money at them with the same results. When are we going to get a leader who sees these political agendas for what they really are. We need to take care of our problems before we take care of other countries problems. Give them 100 billion in birth control.

I wonder what the price of wheat and canola will be in 2050? $7.00 and $12.00 per bu? Average yields better be good.

farma - "Never have so few fed so many for so little..."

Yup, and now food is so cheap that we can barely afford to produce it.

Just the opposite of housing; last week a headline somewhere said that we have made housing the perfect ponzi scheme. only problem is that housing has become so expensive we can no longer afford to live in it.

Wow, we are a brilliant race.
