Food Price Spike Coming?

Fri, Jun 29, 2012 9:47 AM EDT - CNBC 4:25 | 9,633 views



"A mega spike in agricultural markets would be something you would end up seeing on the streets in food riots, we are already only ten percent off the 2008 highs in many agricultural products, there are extremely low stocks in corn and very dry weather...

This is America. We only riot over sports.


But just in case, maybe we should stop using food crops for gasoline.

Good thing for E85 gasoline. That should help lower the amount of cropland we use for ethanol production.

I know meat will be higher because of the drought/heat. Down south here, farmers are running out of water and hay to feed their livestocks. Corns and other commodities are in low harvest because of the drought.

i agree with this. There are better ways to make it (algee, suger beats, etc)


With the druaght a good portion of the US is in i don't think they will have the amount of stuff grown. The crops all around me look smaller/shorter, the soy bushes just don't look "full" as they should.

Of course this does not affect most of the Rich Republicans on here.

Dave are you sure that highly inflated food pricies will have no effect on the Rich is just insane . The Rich are not Rep or dems but booth parties . Thats how they got control of We the peoples government.
Wait until the world wide drought of 2012 works its magic on the World. For you to say it effects not the rich is about as ignorant as it gets . The poor will be better off than the middle class as they recieve foodstamps . The value of the food stamps will increase with inflation. But the middle class wages will not increase at the same pace. Funny this topic came up. My wife went for grocerys and was really troubled when she got home . Actually she is scarred. I have failed her in that respect . As there is nothing to fear.
She said meat pricies are crazy high and I laughed . I said why you looking at meat pricies we have a whole beef in the freezers and a hog. She said she always does price check .
I asked her . If it comes down will you kill to protect YOUR food . She said I don't know. Honest answer / She asked and you will you kill to protect our property . I said I can't answer that . But I did say to her I sold our weapons for a reason. She said than you won't fight . No I said . But I will share what we have. She has always been on the fence about what I told her of my vision /experiance when I was Four. She always said it could have been a dream . and I agreed. But no longer does she believe it was a dream. Its as I TOLD. READ WHAT HAPPENED IN EGPYT. 3600 years ago . Drought was next on list . She Than asked me about the last plague will the First born die (male). I said no it will be death period no first born bullshit. I told her to reread and comprehend. I told her in our time read what it says . EVEN the 144.000 are at risk . So the deaths will beyond comprehension. She said I thought 1/3 would win victory over death. I told her thats a number for all time not our time. I said killing babies has just recently become exceptable to the fallen. Than I said that 1 example of many . So I told her its going to be hard but the end will justify their deaths as Reason and enlightenment come into the world.

I'm sure it won't. We're all aware that republicans posses the vast majority of wealth in the US (around 93%), but that wealth isn't just cash, it's everything. When the food supply dries up, only republicans will be allowed to purchase the limited amount available. We will continue to get fat while the democrats starve to death.

Pity you picked the wrong team yet again Dave.

This morning, I saw a guy leave Kroger with nothing but 4 one gallon jugs of vinegar. I was this close to asking him if he needed to fill out a special form at checkout.

The important thing is that only the families with the fewest values stand to starve. :thumbsup:

I believe commodities are priced in U. S. dollars (which has been strengthening recently - http://ezinearticles.com/?What-Is-the-DXY-Dollar-Index?&id=5381416 and inflation in the U. S. is predicted to moderate as this year proceeds.

Sounds like it might be more of a problem for other countries this year, and not quite as dire for us (that video clip was from CNBC Europe).

I didn't write the article.

No, but you posted it.. just as you always posting doomer and downer articles about how terrible everything is.

Lighten up a bit dude. Go take a walk. Play a video game. Have a beer with a friend. Meditate.

It will be okay. Honest.
