I saw that.
I thought that it might have implications for some of our global competitors.
How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm, after they've seen Peking?
A very large part of this is due to crop failures in Australia and to a lesser degree by diversion of US corn into the ethanol production system.
Anywhere there is population pressure and inadequate domestic food production, our leverage has just increased. Unfortunately, I fear that we are not smart enough politically to take advantage of it.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
