Flooding is contained mostly in the center of the country I thought. Its a heavy corn growing region where much, if not most, of the harvest goes to produce ethanol for a gasoline additive, not food products as it once did. (Exports are down as well) Not sure how many beef cattle were lost due to flooding. But most of our fruits and produce comes from other regions of he country not affected by the flooding. In my house we don’t eat grains, including corn and wheat or products containing those ingredients. Not sure how food prices will “skyrocket” except maybe for certain items. At least I hope not. If it does it will signal that prices are up due to flooding used as an excuse, not necessarily a cause.
