Venezuela's Chavez seizes U.S. food giant unit

[classicalliberal]

Chavez is a socialist piece of S#$%. Saskfarmer, there was plenty of good prices available for more than six months to sell up to three years in things like corn, 2 years in canola, one year in oats and three years in soybeans at extremely profitable prices. For some reason, not many people that I know took advantage of it. By the way, those companies are controlling the prices when they can because they are greedy. It is something you would do if you could but it wouldn't be criminal if the farmer held its consumers randsome on the prices.

When you say profitable Classic, have you locked in your input costs for these 'sales prices.' That includes fertilizer, chemicals (herbicide, pesticide, etc...), seed, fuel, .....

How can you be certain you have locked in profitable returns unless all your input costs are covered?
