Thought For The Day

[garager]

OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel.
OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel.
Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel.
Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil!
Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled fillet of camel @ss!!!

Garager that was some great reasoning at work. We keep hearing how big oil is just a business doing what businesses do, so why can't our farmers charge whatever they feel the market will bear? Just don't raise the price of my donuts.:thud:

IT is CALLED The board of trade, THAT IS HOW GRAIN GETS PRICED. (by buyers and speculators, the same as with oil, {by demand, and disruptions of production, or excess supplies}),

Farmers (commercial) in the last 100 years have NOT controlled the price of the product they sell, some one else tells them what they will get.

and last winter I think ever one was not pleased with $10 wheat and $6 dollar corn, I do not think you would do any better with $136 grains, Now that would actually raise the price of food,

Good bit of information but I don't think any of us were serious about this being an answer to our problems. We do need real solutions and quick, hopefully before winter.
