A Farmer's Pair Trade

Short beef; Long grain.

Something about this doesn't seem particularly sustainable to me, given that livestock represents such a major source of grain consumption. But in the meantime, farmers are going for the (fields of) gold.

CBC.ca:

Financially beleaguered cattle producers in Manitoba are selling off their herds and switching to wheat, capitalizing on soaring grain prices.

Martin Unrau, president of the Manitoba Cattle Producers Association, is just one of hundreds of ranchers expected to sell off their animals this year and put their fields to work raising grain.

That would seem to set up a fierce backlash. There will be supply driven cheap prices for meat now and shortages later. Stock your freezer.

Wouldn't you want to pair this trade the other direction? If more people are planting grain and less raising cattle, then why wouldn't prices move in the other direction. If you take a look at soy for example, it's seen its price rise as more farmers have planted corn instead. I don't really pay very close attention to this, so it wouldn't surprise me if I had this backwards, but the contrarian in me would pair this trade in the other direction.

Keep both of them because it's just a matter of time before they explode. I made the mistake of trading Harrison before he went off on the Saints for three scores and about 160 yards.

You must remember that it is not easy to trade in exotic currencies because the market does not have the same amount of activity for exotic currencies as it does for main currencies.

They're making it, but I don't know who'll be in it. Without Murphy, Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, it won't stand a chance.

Of course on the flip side of that, the democrats claim that the country is less educated, which is somewhat true (hillbillies and rednecks) but exaggerated. In the end, the best thing to do is look at the issues and what you agree with to decide who you will vote for.
