Kandiyohi County, Minn.

I was up North in MN. Some corn out in field, look like a little loss around edge of fields, but of course it's already in the bin. I wonder where all the food is coming from in the world. I was reading on the internet that locusts are eating everything up in Northern Africa, and could move into India and China. Australia had only half a crop of wheat and no wheat to export. Thailand had a poor crop. Way too wet down South. Looks like food shortages coming. Why aren't grain livestock prices higher? Someone is fooling someone.
