Bread is life. I will be making my own bread soon. It will be cheaper. Prices rise always and it doesn't ever seem to follow supply and demand, but "Investors". It seems market fears or what ever excuse they can come up with. The prices never return to lower prices, even if there was a good year. They say the farmers will be hit and not make money. They don't before, they won't after. If you are a farmer, thank you! Eveyrone should thank their farmers, they give you the ability to live the way you live by keeping you fed. Just don't thank Monsanto, avoid anything from them. GMO is awful.
