Due to the Australian drought wheat levels are at their lowest since 1979. Normally, Australia would hope to harvest about 25m tonnes of wheat - in 2006 the crop yielded less than 10m tonnes. Somebody will fill the void. Hopefully the good farmers of North Dakota can do that.

Your hopes are too tame for my taste, Davinsky.

My hope is that someone will drive a combine through the house of representatives and cull that worthless group of pandering nit wits and provide us with solutions not problems.

Speaking of plants, have you read the post on Malkins blog about the Vegetable Rights?  http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/04/get-yourself-ready-forthe-vegetable-rights-movement/

Apparently the Swiss officialdom has decreed that plants have rights.  Stand by.  It will soon be illegal to mow your lawn.

PS: A little more on topic, the farmers in my part of the country are planting wheat this year for the first time in a decade.  Since cotton is the usual cash crop, I suspect that we will soon experience a shortage in Fruit of the Loom. I reckon we can all go commando.

That will work. Why didn’t I think of that?

I saw somewhere 2 weeks ago that planted corn will be down 6% on last year, due primarily to high soy and wheat prices, but also because of high fertilizer prices and to rest fields exhausted by corn.

With the late start to spring, farmers are just entering the fields here 3 hours north of the corn belt.

Farmers betting against corn this year will be happy.  Next year prices will be sky high, but will temps improve?
