    Thanks Robin for this heads up! With the failure of main media, it can be hard to "see the wheat for the chaff". Right now there is a strange mix of grain shortage when stocks are so high in some countries, partly due to tariffs. Masses of "excess" (unmarketed) grains were being stored by U.S. farmers in the Mid-West, when their silos were wiped out or contaminated by toxic flood waters (due to a "bomb-cyclone"). A backlog in America, while North Koreans are close to starvation. And now major producer Australia is IMPORTING wheat!
