That it costs the farmers more to produce food?

Cost of steel manufacturing in China is going up, dollar value down, or maybe the Chinese are figuring out they have us between a rock and a hard place and are starting to turn the screws?

Very little.

 

[sandman2234]

Very little.

Meaning? Means little or means they will get little because of it? Or that farmers don't use enough fasteners to affect their bottom line?

I would think that might extrapolate to them being poorer and working harder .. the small guy being squeezed to death. Fertilizer has gone way high too.
