I remember my Grandfather complaining that he sold wheat in 1930's for 1.97, and dad was selling if for 1.97 in the seventies, but grandpa got 20 bushel per acre, and dad got above 60. Now it sells for about 3.00 and the yields here in michigan (SAginaw valley) average 100 per acre. no food shortage in sight. Not with everybody eating tofu and bean sprouts.

change isn't always good, but the only thing that isnt changing is the rate of change...it is getting faster and faster.
