Food inflation is just getting started

Corn Is Out, Soy Is In on U.S. Farms Rocked by Soaring Costs

Two crops dominate U.S. farming: corn and soybeans. The former requires massive amounts of fertilizer. The latter requires very little.

Which is why the astronomical surge in fertilizer prices -- they're up some 27% this year and 130% over the past year -- is causing farmers to quickly re-calibrate the amount of each crop they put in the ground this spring. They'll dedicate about 2 million more acres this year to soy, a Bloomberg survey finds, and about 2 million fewer to corn.

Russia is a major fertilizer exporter

Russia's biggest exports are oil and gas. But the country is also the largest global exporter of fertilizer.

Hmmm? All that ethanol in gas comes from corn.

Misspoke.

MSM to the rescue!!!

Buy a $60k electric car to save $500.

President Joe Biden has told Americans they could save $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy. An AP Fact Check shows he misspoke. The White House actually claims that using green energy might save people $500 a year, not per month.https://t.co/WB6tckyj1A

The ROI on moving to new tech is not there and will not in our lifetimes. It needs to be market driven, not the Govt choosing winners.

If you know gas prices are painful, then why won’t you open up pipelines and allow more drilling for oil so that America can be energy dependent - or are you just full of shit and are trying to placate a pissed off country?

The democrat party can easily fill that gap during the first 24hrs of their next convention alone.

NEVER forget what the Biden administration did for America!!

Planning a cookout this year? Ketchup on the news. According to the Farm Bureau, the cost of a 4th of July BBQ is down from last year. It’s a fact you must-hear(d). Hot dog, the Biden economic plan is working. And that’s something we can all relish. pic.twitter.com/7h9qLauIbC

As for take-out or dine-in menus, the USDA said those prices are predicted to go up between 5.5 and 6.5% for the remainder of this year.
Additionally, food prices climbed 7.9% for the year ending in February 2022.
This was "the largest 12-month advance since July 1981," according to the department.

Yes, and then it rose another 80 cents per gallon. What about this is hard to understand? https://t.co/4FLb3Ef3aS

Republicans get voted out of office when they don't fulfill their promises…..Democrats get voted out of office when they do.

Doesn't matter .

Regardless who the Republicans nominate the media will relentlessly portray her or him as a virulent racist who's only goal is to bring back slavery .

After months of such propaganda Harris will be declared the winner by a plurality of over 25 million votes .

Masters > Bidenflation

Concession prices at the 2022 Masters, the only menu items in sports that have gotten CHEAPER over time.

In 1990, the pimento cheese sandwich at Augusta National was $1, which is $2.17 today, factoring for inflation.

Not too long ago, you could get a 24 pack at HEB for $5.99. Now 12 packs are about that much.

What is a Big O going for these days? When I was in school it was $1.69, if memory serves.
