BBC story on Grain price increases in the UK

bellebouche

I'd come across this story http://www.energybulletin.net/17261.html a few weeks ago and wondered just how long it would take before the knock on effects would filter through to the real world.

Not too long it seems http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4787955.stm

the double header of a reduced grain harvest and increased contribution from energy costs looks to deliver some increases in the costs of basic foodstuffs and along with it no doubt some further inflationary pressure.

Nice connection. The price increase was certainly predictable.

Now imagine how things will get when both fuel and grain get really scarce.
