Just read an article on the rising cost of soy in Indonesia 
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h2yvMSxeRuyg-tm6MsKhgkQxqkqwD931O5NG0 
and the problems that is creating.
Part of the problem is the farming going on in the USA on that 
$7k/acre farm land... lot's more to it than that but that is a good 
tie in for the article <g>.
