    I'd say it is less about greed and more about survival. There is no fat in the system. You cannot blame them! If people paid more for food they wouldn't have to stoop. It is coming though. Might take another year of high oil but mark my word inflation in food is coming. I have a good mate in Bundaberg, Qld who is the number one potato grower in Oz and he is considering not planting spuds this years because he cannot turn a positive budget. The bank will not lend him the moeny he is asking for. Same thing is happening all over America and Canada. If you bankrupt the system, you will get this kind of behaviour. Consumers are spoilt with high quality food yet they do not see the fine line between having it affordable and not. But please do not blame farmers for trying to survive.
