Looking at the price of commodities on the futures market one would be a fool not to take advantage of the prices today. We have double digit inflation, they just don't admit it. What it costs to produce a pound of flour has risen and there's no reason to believe the prices will do anything but increase all down the line.The same holds true for rice and beets and other foods. The prices we see today are the lowest we will see.

You guys should pickup some tinfoil while you're down at the grocery store stocking up for doomsday. I bet you can pick up a nice survival guide for cheap from back when the whole Y2K crisis was going on.

None really work for vehicles. Well, maybe solar, but I'm not sure how well it would do for most farm equipment.

Crazy stuff going on in the world today. Why is it that inflation, and rising gas prices started right around the time of the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations? How do these things, along with genetically modified food, tie together to create a possible restrictive hell on Earth?

There are organizations dedicated to trying to solve the current food crisis in america, you know. Like FoodCrisisInAmerica.org--do you realize 1 in 6 children in the US are undernourished? It's crazy.
