Go Ahead, Blame Biofuels (for food prices...)

I'm giving you a link to this very interesting article about the link between the big hurrah for biofuels and the rising cost of groceries.  An entire host of articles like this one are available from Baker's Creek Seeds (www.rareseeds.com)  under their Compaign Forum.  Along with interesting articles such as this one, there are many articles about Genetically Modified and Engineered crops.  Baker's Creek sends me a newsletter each week or month (don't remember which) giving me the highlights of several articles.  My goal is to continue to educate myself AND grow heirtage/hereloom plants so that I can save seeds at the end of each season.  I love the idea of self-sustainability here on my farm, and that's really why I'm raising chickens now.  (And, I must say, the noisy girls are rather active today!  It's peep peep peep all day long and they've discovered their wings which are nearly completely feathered!  WOW!  It's really amazing!  OK, here is the article link:  http://www.thecampaign.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1192  Enjoy! xo Cj
