Looking at the combined heat & drought and it's expected results to crops

2. You are correct, the Freezer is of course a wonderful idea

and we will look and doing this ourselves. Many folks however, don't have a deep freeze and are thus limited as we know. So hopefully everyone does the best they can with a coming difficult winter.

I expect prices to skyrocket myself with the combined effects of the heat, drought and to a certain degree the Mastercard/Visa settlement as retailers look to increase their income (or as they will say offset their losses) streams through swipe fees for those using charge cards. The loss of a significant portion of the corn crop will most likely lead to increases in gasoline and ripple through almost every food product on the shelves in one way or another.
