Russian Organic Wheat takes world by Storm, US GMO Glyphosate losing out!

The United States was once the world’s leading wheat exporter, but now is losing its position to Russia and Canada due a stronger dollar, stagnant yields, rising competition and … AND GMO

According to analysts, exports of wheat may drop 9.3 percent to 21.1 million metric tons in the season ending May 31, the lowest since 1972.

“We’re no longer going to lead in volume every year,” said Alan Tracy, president of US Wheat Associates told Bloomberg, adding that an increase in global wheat trade was the only hope for the country.

America Is Losing Out To Russia In The #Wheat Wars http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-20/america-is-losing-out-to-russia-in-the-wheat-wars … Strong USD, #ClimateChange, competition

Nearly forty percent of the US crop goes for export, according to the Department of Agriculture. The acreage for winter wheat fell to its second-lowest since 1913.

As US wheat is no longer the leader in global markets, American farmers are changing to corn and soybeans.

Wow~guess people don't like brain damaging chemicals in their food~who'd have guessed```

Very different than a story I read last year.. Russians were being forced to take or GMO's and they did not want it. Trade agreement.

Yes, when Russia had not put so much land into wheat, there was still a certain amount that was stored that had been imported, they were our biggest customer, at one time.
I wonder, how much we are exporting compared with years back. I know, from what I've read and seen when there, that people know what petrochemical products do, what effects they have and don't want to feed them to their family, you and I don't that's why we get our hand dirty growing as much as we can. I love canned corn, but with nothing written on the can so we can tell which can is tainted, we have to eat it and wonder.

People the world over want to choose not to by food they think will hurt them, and their politicians, like ours, sometimes listen.
