Food prices could get scary this year. We have some serious
interruptions in the food supply due to rain or lack of rain, depending
on the location. Most of the productive areas in North America are
experience record rainfalls and floods. Fields are too wet for farmers
to to get out and work their fields, too wet to plant. Much of western
Europe is facing drought conditions. They have had little or no rain
during the critical sprouting and initial growth periods. China is also
experiencing severe droughts. It seems that there is either not enough
water, or there is way too much.
