All You Need To Know About Agriculture

In the United Kingdom, the highest rate of suicide in any economic sector is agriculture. In India, millions of farmers commit suicide. Farming has been a nightmare for most people. The result is we don`t have any farmers.

More people in America study Public Relations than study agriculture, some major agriculture universities had to close or change because nobody wants to be a farmer. I don`t know what more do you need to know. Agriculture has to change. Prices and profits have to go much higher in agriculture or we are not going to have any food at any price.

Serious Fundamental Problems in Agriculture

In 1987 stocks around the globe fell 40% and many people said the bull market was over. Then in 1989, 1990, 1994, 1997, 1998 there were many times when stocks collapsed and everybody was convinced the bull market was over. The bull market wasn’t over. It eventually ended in a bubble.

In my view that’s happening with commodities. I don’t see major sources of new supply coming in on stream. Most commodities don’t have massive new supply yet. For instance, agriculture has produced record levels for the past few years and yet inventories are the lowest in 40 years because consumption keeps going higher and higher, faster than production does.

We have serious fundamental problems developing in agriculture. I don’t see enough new supply to cause the bull market to end other than a temporary consolidation, especially since so many people are convinced and quick to rush out and write that the bull market is over. But we’ll see.
