If prices of commodities are manipulated to screw the farmer, that does not come across as right in my opinion. If the farmer himself decides to cut production and take an extra day off a week and prices go up, that doesn't come across to me as unfair because it's his business and he really doesn't know if enough other farmers will do the same to actually affect prices anyway. Markets are always geared to lower prices and increasing consumption. When I left high school, a farmer was said to feed himself and 56 other people. By the end of the 1990's the number was said to be 228. It's probably more by now. If we went back to the per farmer production levels of the 1970's, your pocket book would probably groan everytime you ate a sandwich. Yet despite this, a market occasionally gets out-of-kilter and there is a bull. I suspect this is happening with metals and have bet so. If it doesn't, that's life. BTW, my dad passed away suddenly about a month ago. I'm glad to see you appreciate what you have while you have it. I phoned or visited mine quite often.
