Just when you thought the economic news couldn't get any worse, a lower-than-expected corn crop yield is more than likely going to keep corn prices at an all-time high for the next year. Is our food suppy in danger?

It looks increasingly likely as market analysts also highlight low yields for red spring wheat and soy beans (both of which are major staple crops).  Climate change and ineffectual agricultural policies are the core issues here and some form of investment and economic policy is needed to offset possible future crop shortages.  One reason why I advocate self-sufficiency in vegetables and fruit to survive a crisis such as this.
