Unbleached AP costs even more than bleached. I went to Walmart 75 mi away. My neighbors were going and offered me a ride. They are retired farmers and leased out around 5000 acres of wheat land.
Bob goes down to the cafe every day where some of the old guys get together for coffee and talk politics and farming. Bob told me today that wheat is up again a bit to a little over $11.00 bushel. Even though they will plant more spring wheat now he says the price will not go down because of operating costs. Fertilizer and sprays (insectecides, fungicides, hrbecides) have doubled in price, that combined with the extremely high cost of diesel to operate all the giant farm machinery with means prices will most likely even go higher.
Than I heard the wonderful news on TV that the governement figures infaltion only by the price incrases of DURABLE goods such as lawn mowers, washing machines and other appliances, cars, bikes, and such but Governement does NOT figure in the price increases of food and fuel.
No wonder SS checks only go up by a few measely bucks per year. Mine increased by $13.00 p mo, that doesn't even buy a small mini ham.
If you think times are tough now, just wait.............
