Since when is trading in futures of a commodity you do business in insider trading? Isn't that the purpose of the commodities market? Also, storing commodities for future sale at higher prices is exactly how people do business in commodities. Why do you think wheat silos exist? Cornering markets is unseemly, but most people that have tried that with any major commodity end up ruined. To pretend that GS has the clout to corner the oil market is absurd. I don't understand the complaint.

Yeah, I think it was working. Winds can get very strong in Eastern Colorado / Western Kansas; if the wind was blowing hard the other way it might make the jump but as long as it didn't shift that way I bet it was OK.

I agree with @song77 - I think it was just a wheat stubble field. In older days it was pretty standard practice to plow that stubble back into the soil, but the more modern style is to leave it standing to serve to catch snow in the winter and then let that melt and add to the soil moisture (called no-till farming). Fires that burn off stubble can result in insurance claims for damages related to lost potential water collection from that melted snow, but the assessed damages aren't usually very high.

Source: Grew up in a Western Kansas farm family, had an incident where my family was burning tumbleweeds and caused an accidental fire that burned up some stubble in a neighboring field. Our insurance had to pay some damages to the neighbor farm.

It has worked, you can see from that last shot the fire had reached it and was smoldering,Theirs a guy at the back moping it up with a truuck and water.
Its not that gutsy, it was only a grass fire he could have driven over the top of that from the cab of the tractor and been safe. It looks like its whats left over from harvest possible wheat stems/stuble

It's only looking like it's working because the wind is blowing away from his field. I think he just ruined more wheat.

It can become an obsession as the energy and vitality begins flowing back into your body-You really wanna step-up a notch, check out the juicer I have (bought one for the mother-in-law as well, back when)

Greenlife-Best I've ever used that was not a commercial unit-
http://www.discountjuicers.com/greenlife.html

It's about $200 more now that when I bought mine, expeller-type. You can juice anything, no introduction of air into your juice like the most popular varieties....It'll do wheat grass, make nut butters, and has cranked-out juice these 20+ years without a hitch.

Congratulations and welcome to a healthier you!

I really don't get all the GMO hubbub. I realize it sounds bad - like we are Frankenstein-ing our food, but I'm a biologist and physician and people need to realize that we have been GMO-ing our food since the advent of agriculture/husbandry. The whole POINT of agriculture/farming is to breed crops/animals such that they express certain genetic traits that are valuable to humans. Examples are abundant: bananas, corn, cows, chickens, Scottish fold kittens... Basically anything that humans can grow/raise, we attempt to genetically modify through selective breeding; the fact that we now have the technology to accomplish these changes in a lab is obvious as the next logical step. If you object to GMO then you should be a hunter-gatherer. This is not to say that there are no risks to selective breeding/GM. For one, genetically similar or identical organisms are susceptible to the same pathogens. If we stake our fortunes on a single type of wheat, corn, cow, banana, whatever - we risk losing it forever if there is some sort of infectious outbreak. As far as health risks to consumers, I don't think there is any legitimate science that suggests that GM food is any worse for you than non-GM food (the same goes for irradiated foods).

Little guy makes that Chex bit look like a giant shredded wheat!

..Then get back to screwing with African wheat prices and make some fucking BANK! Because of FREEM and MOXY!!!!!

Looking for rocket, and all of a sudden the wheat silo takes off.

I know someones' got this girl beat and NO spoco, the fastest way according to anyone who ever had a colonic is to pump it up into yer ass-Fastest transfer of caffeine into the system anyhow...My friend did it with two quarts of Starbucks!

Another similar experiment involved wheat grass juice,an entire flat in one session. That one put her blood pressure to the test...

You'll notice that while Matt was off getting his fancy-fucking-schmansey-education, Kristi was doing something just as intellectually challenging in the REAL world: watching wheat grow.

I guess I know who I'm voting for on Tuesday.

Actually, this is made using the ingredients they use in Canada. This video is only linked on McD's Canadian website: http://yourquestions.mcdonalds.ca/questions/66

The stuff in the USA is different: http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/getnutrition/ingredientslist.pdf (page 2)

Soybean oil, pickle relish [diced pickles, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, vinegar, corn syrup, salt, calcium chloride, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate (preservative),
spice extractives, polysorbate 80], distilled vinegar, water, egg yolks, high fructose corn syrup, onion powder, mustard seed, salt, spices, propylene glycol alginate,
sodium benzoate (preservative), mustard bran, sugar, garlic powder, vegetable protein (hydrolyzed corn, soy and wheat), caramel color, extractives of paprika, soy
lecithin, turmeric (color), calcium disodium EDTA (protect flavor).

I have to agree with @Shepppard, give me the processed stuff! I don't do peanut butter and jelly but that's because I also am not a fan of jelly/jam. I do love peanut butter though (when I was a kid, my grandparents would send a jar with me to school because I was a picky eater)

I do eat peanut butter a certain way though. Now I only eat it on warm toast (wheat is best) with whole peanuts or pecans smashed into the gooey warm peanut butter.

Wheat toast.

Peanut Butter.

Strawberry Jam.

Bacon.

Lettuce.

Potato Chips.

Perfect sammich.

HIGH ON 100% WHEAT FLOUR

/that being said I know a portion of people who had been promised such a kind of device for use in 3rd world countries, but for whatever silly reason it took like another 20 years and even then the process from lab-ready to mass-production is bound to take another 20- still... SCIENCE
