My gpa and uncle used to tell me that in farming there is no off season. End of harvest season just meant the beginning of repair season. Two of the most hardest working and dedicated men I've ever known. Except for my own Dad.
food and energy move from producer to consumer pretty quickly. That's why you see inflation there first. Everything else you buy will follow. Just takes a little longer.

Amen, I think of all the farmers we visited this summer in NE Montana who were expecting only 25% of their harvest. I hope wheat goes to $15 for them, but then again there is the truly poor. God Bless our Farmers and Truckers.
