But can we believe this or is it another hyped up load of twaddle written by some doomsdayer.

The whole point of putting the link up , is so that people don't have to believe the shite that the mp's and msm spew out . Read the link , then use the internet to find out if it pans out . 
Another way to do it is follow the money .
Once you find someone who gains no money or power from what they say , you start to uncover the truth . It takes a lot of digging to remove all the layers of shite . But it is there .

thats entirely up to you! i have read up on this and other subjects and in general most of them pan out. russ or i, cant and dont want, to persuade you, all i want is that people actually take the time to research these things for themselves.  unfortunately, the truth is hard to find, and its normally so scary it puts people off. so they choose to ignore whats happening around them.
 
 which is exactly what companys like monsanto want you to do.

ok so ive been doing some thinking about monsanto and how it affects grain prices. quite simple really. they reduce the amount of non gm grain there is to the market. as britain is non gm it pushes the prices up.

Nothing to do with the highest rainfall for years then, interesting thought Deep.

[deepinthewoods]

i thought it was because the world grain price had risen.
because of hedging in the grain market.
heres a good read. to save time just look at the pie charts on page13.

The USA has had one of the worse grain harvests in many years due to drought.

The UK has had above average rainfall and even the farmer I buy my wheat from had a fungal infection in the crop.

Grain is in short supply because of weather conditions across the world.

If it isn't cropping well the price will bound to go up.

[deepinthewoods]

that doesnt explain the last 2 years.
the price is being inflated due to hedging. have alook at the piechart on page 13 of that pdf.

The price is also being inflated by 40% of the crop being used to make ethanol for US cars.  The US gov't has declined to remove the biofuel obligation, so prices will stay high.

But I agree that the futures markets have a murky role in this too
