Somebody in our government needs to make a public announcement that we do not have a shortage of rice in this country. The recent media coverage has created a bit of a panic and now Rice is flying off the shelves -- not to mention that some stores are elevating the price to take advantage of the hysteria. BJ's (a store like Sam's Club) was completely sold out this afternoon.
According to the president of the rice growers Association, the silos are full and there is no shortage here. We really need leadership, and not tomorrow.
