Food Prices

[Floorist]

Expect food prices in the US to skyrocket. Talked to a wheat farmer from western Kansas this morning. The last rain they had was 1/2" in Sept 2010. The corn here in Missouri didn't make it either. We have been averaging almost 100 F since June 1st and have had 1" of rain since then.

You know how to rain on everyone's parade don't ya. My thermometer batteries went out, so I don't even know how warm it is today. Gotta be in the 70's if I had to guess.

 

[Floorist]

We aren't even getting the 70's for a low.

I'd probably be one of those people having heat stroke. I hate heat with a passion and have never lived in it. Mid 80's suck the energy out of me.

 

[Floorist]

I'm stuck in the house. With some of the meds I'm takin', the Dr. told me not to get hot.

But we're having a record corn crop regardless of the Missouruh corn. They say all that corn is helping keep the heat and numidity up in the midwest.
