[QUOTE="john250, post: 812957, member: 4406"] I would definitely caution all farmers about the danger of consumer unrest and government action. And don't think ANY politician is going to help. Richard Nixon put price controls on meat in the 70's and the industry tanked for two or three years. Obama doesn't even have Nixon's inhibitions about govt action. I'd say the meat counter is about to post some really big increases. If the US is going to put 1/3 of the corn crop into ethanol, it only follows naturally that meat, milk and eggs will be a LOT higher over time. Imports are possible, especially in the hamburger trade. The price of corn, however, is one price plus shipping wherever you are. No one has cheap corn, so the quality meat, milk egg biz is going a lot higher. If you poked me on my paranoid side, I'd say we'll hear politicians calling for nationalizing the farms. Evil profit mongers, y'know. [/QUOTE]
