[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 8158717, member: 66524"] Obviously I'm out of the UK but wheat is touching 400 pounds a tonne. So I've got myself a combine and I'm planting as much corn as I can. As a net importer the wheat price here is always world market plus and big wheat farmers here have made fortunes over the years (and lost them too polo ponies and aeroplanes aren't cheap). Today i got to thinking what if there's peace in Ukraine next week? Prices are going to crash how am I going to pay for the combine? I've just got a stereo put in it and everything. Then I thought so what. If there's peace that's a good thing no more Ukrainian families being murdered and a return to the status quo for the poorer countries of the world. Maybe it's a wake up call for Governments around the world to stop their reliance on imported food and energy maybe it's not but really we need things to get back to some semblance of how they were. My Dad used to quote the old farmers toast of "Here's to a famine or a bloody war" . Well we might have both and we might make some money but me I preferred things as they were. [/QUOTE]
