WTF?!?!?! When oil finally goes back to normal, food prices jumps over $10. I was paying $61 for some of my bushels today because i had no choice.

I noticed someone had put 50 mill bushels on at $50 WTF? Maybe a few put their stock at 50? Either way it should stay at 50 for awhile!

It's going to stay high with all these big countrie. I'm using about 60k bushels/turn. Can't imagine what the bigger cashers and commies are using.

i'm at 72k lol. The only way to make mroe money is more bus/res/land. And that'll always increase food consumption :(

It's sad that I spend nearly 20% of my net income on food even when hitting the cash button.

STOP THIS TRAGEDY FARMERS!!!

That makes no sense Kevan. They end up making less food, and food price goes even higher!

With prices like these, farmers don't have to sell as much to roll their turns... stocking even more than normal.

I have to wonder if it's worthwhile for a farmer to stock AT ALL until the market crashes. Sell @65 & grab vs stock and sell at <40.

yes, i honestly don't think farmers should stockpile right now. I would just use it to go nuts and make big grabs and enjoy the cheap military/tech prices. What's the point of doubling your stockpile when it's going to sell for almost half the price it is now lol.

thats true. but i unloaded about 200M bushels at 48 or something like that a week ago. to get my retal in.

its tough when u have to go from 500k jets to 35M.
