Yeahbut my farmer friends are making a swing of it now... Theres even some rumbling about renting out the 12 acres of my farm thats easily accesible... When somebody wants to rent little fields like mine (I've got a 40 acre field but the access stinks) you know they must be making some money... Northern Maine potatoes and oats are becoming much more valuable as the rest of the country goes into corn and soy.

To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 My father-in-law is a dairy farmer, so I understand exactly what you are talking about. But why are soybeans up? Why is milk up? My father in law is happy to get more for his milk...but he is also paying way more to produce that milk. Silver cost $12/oz to mine and refine and it sold for about $4/oz for 20 years. Now it is $18-21/oz...are we making ethanol and biodiesel out of milk and silver? NO. It's mainly inflation (the loss of buying power of our currency) and that, in the long run, will not help farmers any more than us.

Ditto Gary on inflation (FOR SURE) and probably OK Don as well on increased demand.
