Ag prices vs Crude

I have smelt this one before. Hedge fund mgrs trying to stay alive by rallying things like crude. And the news reports Recession Over !
Oil has been closing above $70 for a couple weeks now. I also see bumper yields of corn and soys in the fields but lots of last years crop still in the bins. I am wondering now again this year if Monsanto and Con-Agri will come through........... or will some of the finest food and fiber I've ever seen be lost because it's become fuel/cost prohibitive to harvest it ?? I suppose the big question is, where is the top for crude and where is the bottom for commodities ? * I think the administration should add to their priorities and regulate the price and volume of crude allowed to be traded. * They should be able to place controls on the cost of that wildcard input for domestic ag producers.

take note of #9, would this be of any help at all???? as for the other points, you be the judge.
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. HERE IS MY PLATFORM: (1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can. (2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' (3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it. (4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens. (5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will be able to touch it. (6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade. (7) Professional Athletes--Steroids. The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life. (8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more life sentences. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the sam e method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc. If you are convicted of rape ... well, you get the picture! (9) One export will be allowed, Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil. (10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause. (11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress. (12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes GOD BLESS AMERICA . Bill Cosby Cosby says: Please Forward this to everyone you know, no matter which side of the fence they're on.

LOL as for the vote, as you will note, this is Bill Cosby's approach, we should be so lucky :) if there is something worth further thought here, copy/paste and forward, then we can thank Al Gore, he did invent the internet remember :)
