Food prices have not seen a similar rise as energy prices, but that is coming to an end. Companies are already starting to feel the cost of food going up and it is rippling through the economy.

The other factor is the “deal” that Trump made with the Chinese, to buy massive amounts of U.S. agricultural and farm products in an effort to narrow China’s trade surplus. You narrow the surplus, but you raise prices.
