Reports on other news says it can make a major impact on food prices and mich news says not so much so?Just going to the store breaks me as I get less each week.Then pray alot to pay my bills and drive.The yr is not over with yet.We have no clue what storms will do that aren't here yet.Reports says differnt about so many things.Don't count our chickens before they hatch.How many other things can happen to bring up food prices?Reguardless of what is bringing up food prices,most being caused by mans greed,it all adds up to not haveing what we need.Alot of us anyhow.Mich farmers,and USA farmers loose in so many ways.It isn't over with yet.Could we read in the news some day.FEED AMERICANS?A DYEING COUNTRY?Things need changed and we needed it done a long time ago.Can't change the weather,so change what?

We all know it is the oil thing being bought on the market,that hurts most prices.I still think many big stores are making a big enough profit or they would not be open.The weather has throwed us even more problems.When all added up months from now how much effects it will have on food prices may be higher than thought.The weather damages aren't done with us yet.Flooding may get worse and as californis burns how many crops will be destroyed there?Still many planted and growing crops could recieve damage or be destroyed.Then again the way we ship food products to other countries?That might not continue to be a good idea.Then with iran acting like fools,setting off misles?well they can cut off the shipment of oil and oil may not be getting where needed.War may result again.What can be cut off to them,they don't care.But stopping oil from getting to many places may be there ruin.What is the usa going to do to feed many?Time will tell.But it is a serious problem,but worse in other countris

Weather doing alot of damage food wise.How many wild fires are going.How much land is flooded,How mauch has tornadoes done and the hail?How has farmers prices risen?Why are many going out of bussiness.Draughts in some areas need relief.But to late this year.Then as Iran let off some missels to warn people they could do this or that,because many have pressed them into either stoping weapons of desrtuction,sancations against them ect.Now they are mad.The end results is they could stop shipment of oil.Blocking water ways.Too many countries have ways of stopping them.However they don't see it that way.So no wonder how wars get started.Will Iran be the next one?The oil thing is out of hand causeing food prices to go up.Oil goes up weekly,so do many other prices.We've all had enough.How much of this could of the USA stopped.What are they getting out of this.55$ from 200$ a barrel,and very high gas prices.Some become millionairs for their oil in america?Others go into proverty and hungry.
