I remember my Grandfather complaining that he sold wheat in 1930's for 1.97, and dad was selling if for 1.97 in the seventies, but grandpa got 20 bushel per acre, and dad got above 60. Now it sells for about 3.00 and the yields here in michigan (SAginaw valley) average 100 per acre. no food shortage in sight. Not with everybody eating tofu and bean sprouts. But of course, Atkins has changed that trend. heck, the reason I'm overwieght is that I ate wheat fresh from the combine as a kid, when the sandwiches on Moms homemade bread with her homemade strawberry jam didn't make it to the field on time. Of course, I'm psychologically damaged cause I had to work as a kid, and got a 5 prong pitchfork for my 8th birthday.....how many other people can remember their 8th birthday present? hmmmm maybe thats why I have a 1963 Oliver 550 sitting on my property.
change isn't always good, but the only thing that isnt changing is the rate of change...it is getting faster and faster.
