The price of just about every major agricultural commodity has been absolutely soaring during the past year….
*The price of corn has doubled over the last six months.
*The price of wheat has more than doubled over the past year.
*The price of soybeans is up about 50% since last June.
*The price of cotton has more than doubled over the past year.
*The commodity price of orange juice has doubled since 2009.
*The price of sugar is the highest it has been in 30 years.
Unfortunately, the production of food in most countries around the world is very highly dependent on oil, so as oil goes up in price this is going to make the food crisis even worse.
Hold on to your hats folks.

dont forget the price of fertilizer and other chemicals used in the production of food. their prices have more than tripled in the last 5 years. its unbelievable how much we pay to plant an acre of corn now-a-days. and sure the prices of corn is high...but we still make as much as we did 10 years ago, we just have to write bigger checks now.

weather also plays a big role in the price of food. for instance, a couple years back when Florida had a real heavy late frost, it ruined most of the states orange crop...so orange prices went through the roof. extreme weather in different parts of the world have destroyed certain crops and countries have to import more food....so the price goes up.

the world is headed for hell in a hand basket for many reasons.

edit - the market has been leveling off lately, it will start to drop, it always does. just wait for when all the rich bastards off load their millions of bushels of commodities on paper (just like wall street) and flood the market...it happens every few years. the commodities trading board is a joke. ive never seen so much wheat planted around here in my life and farmers all across the country are following suit....expect wheat prices to drop this summer.

The Middle East Turmoil is a byproduct of this inflation. Currently we are in the Eye of the storm, things are going to get much worse I am afraid. On the Bright side, if you hold gold and especially silver and invest in the energy sector, well your shit is bangin.

BTW coupons can save you up to 50% of your food bill, I use them all the time. Once had an older Gentleman call me a woman for using them, until the cashier told him I saved $63 on a $98 grocery purchase, that kind of shut him up.

I love people like you. Some people like me live on a fixed income and can't afford for prices to go sky high. Gives me a choice of gas for the doctor, meds for my high bp or food for the table. I am sure you don't have any problems like that and hope you don't ever. But if you can't see what is going wrong in this country take off those dark sun glasses.

The American Constitution upheld slave ownership at one time. To own a slave meant having to provide care for them. Now that we have freed the slaves the burden now falls on the slaves to maintain themselves.

Building on that context I am seeing that wealth is accumulating at the top at a rate we have never seen before.
The Lower economic levels will be adjusting to a lower bottom since resources are finite not infinite and since wealth is being accumulated at the top and the lower economic levels are loosing wealth in order to send it to the top we have to accept that our new value as economic servants to the wealthy is in our price going ever lower and lower.

The "Crash" just means the number of people falling below poverty in the USA is rising fast.
So working cheaper, harder, longer and retiring later while not getting healthcare is the grand plan otherwise we would be experiencing a better life with all we have accomplished on this Earth so far.
Remember the more money they print the less value the money we have has. So inflating the value of things is a way to offset those losses.
Everything is inflating except the price of Cannabis and do realise that the lower economic levels are deflating. By deflating I mean poverty is increasing for you and me while great profits rise to the top.

The wealth accumulates at the top due to manipulation of currency. Those at the top get to spend the new cash while it still has full purchasing power. By the time we get the trickle down, prices have risen twice as fast as the cash has trickled. Smart and Wealthy people are cash poor, they know that currencies all devalue over time and all eventually devalue to nothing. When Mubarek was ousted from Egypt, what asset did he escape with? What asset did Ben Ali leave Tunisia with? They never take cash when they escape.

a mongo frog, It's actually that we are deflating rather than the cost of duct tape is going up.

Think about that one...
