Hello Big Gav & Phil Hart,

Congrats to TOD/DownUnder--I be looking forward to it! I hope that your forum will closely monitor, then report any new developments in Antarctica too.

Recall my highly speculative prediction that significant quantities of the Ross Ice Shelf will bust up, as per the Larsen Ice Shelf did a couple of years ago, in under 5 years or less. I could be wildly wrong, or terribly correct, but if it makes people pause to think of the resulting ramifications, then modify their FF-consumptive behavior enough to just help the Ross hold back the seaward frozen flood for a few more years--so much the better!

Thanks Bob - good idea - we'll keep watch on Antarctica too.

I've got a few friends who have over-wintered down there (one a number of times) - I'll see if I can convince them to provide some background as the icesheets melt...

The wheat harvest must be getting underway now.

Last year's was 9.8 million tons.

As this year was worse, I'm expecting maybe 7.

Australia needs 5 million tons for domestic consumption.

Here's the latest I have on US/Global wheat ending stocks.

It's based on 13.5 million tons of Ozzie Harvest.

(37 bu = ton for conversion)

Please inform me/us of any updates on the Big Dry as well as
Harvest.

Thank you.
