Re: Scorch?
They were saying on tonight's news that the farmers wheat harvest may not be much good this year, which will put the price of bread up, and anything else that uses flour.Apparently those that sowed winter wheat last autumn are not so bad, as the wheat got a good hold and was well grown before the drought started. But those who sowed spring wheat early this year, are not going to get a good harvest at all.

They probably will be short of hay, I said the same elsewhere, so they'll have to fork out for extra bagged food which will cost.
I can see price of meat, dairy, flour products and even eggs going up this winter.
