Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erikson here. The Eric Erikson show. The phone number is 877-973-7-425. A friend of mine sent me a spreadsheet of data based on food costs.

This is striking corn,

soy meal, and soybeans are all up.

The costs for everything are trending up.

Let's see here. So for corn costs are up. Let's see here.

So for corn costs are up.

Yep, soybean meal costs are up.

Costs of wheat are up higher than corn.

Costs of soybeans are up.

All the costs are up.

And with all the costs being up,

your costs go up.

Now,

a lot of this stuff is for food for animals that

you then eat but as the price goes up for those the cost of your beef and your poultry and

the like they all go up as well costs are going up CBS News is running a story today that the reason your costs are going up is Ukraine.

I guess your costs weren't up a month ago.

Now, I got to talk about a couple of things here and tie them all together.

And it's actually rather important that I do.

And I teased one and had such a great phone call with Lister Les from

Vidalia, Georgia that I had to put it off.

And here I want to get to this.
