Tell me about it!

When I bought my last 50 lbs of organic flour, I could not believe it!

On 06/30/07 - it was $ 16.32

Last year: Bumper crop on wheat in my (and maybe other) areas - farmers
had logistic problems getting enough trucks to move the wheat.

On 01/23/08 - it was $ 36.75 - 125 % increase.

What? Boulder organic wheat flour from Rocky Mountain Milling in
Platteville, Colorado.

Maybe some purists want to get organic car fuel from wheat?
