"In Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, much of Jackson Lake, one of the most photographed bodies of water in the world, may have to be drained to provide relief for drought-stricken potato farmers in Idaho." For the past several years, potato farmers in Wisconsin and out west have been dumping a good portion of their spuds, feeding them to cattle, etc. because prices are so low. The food glut equals and surpasses the gold/silver glut. One could imagine vastly higher food prices in the next year or two should this thing finally break and all the farmers go under.
