A Snow-Induced Food Shortage

Jan 06, 2010
The Kansas City, Missouri, school district has been closed all week due to cold weather. It's been about zero at night here and that's too cold, so says the district. Then the rest of the schools in the area have followed suit and many are already called off for Friday due to actual snowfall in the area and a high temperature on Friday of minus two degrees.

Now that snow is really here, here's what the bread aisle at the Big V Country Mart in Smithville, Missouri, looked like Thursday evening during the after work rush.

Greg: noticed you said today that ag lending is robust. HAHA I have over a 700 credit score, less than $100,000 debt, with way more equity than debt at least 4 times more asset value over debt, and the bank wouldn't lend me money. I'd have to go through FSA. LOL! What a joke.
