The droughts have killed the total output this year I think. (wrt to grains/corn at least)
 
Yea you add the drought to corn subsidies that mandate ethanol in gasoline, and there are corn shortages, and thus pig shortages. Less to do with the macroeconomics of speculation, I believe, though there are global food concerns this winter.

Thanks guys. And yet Las Vegas is getting record rains, Los Angeles is getting record heats, we're getting more severe tornados and hurricanes recently. Pretty sure the planet is kinda pulling a Milt and telling us to get out.
 
I bet people in NC will be fine. We might pay a little more, but we live in pig central.
