Rob:  Few will argue our world is facing a shortage of both food and energy.  Two sectors that we’ve seen, in recent months, are inextricably intertwined.  In a world where our population is growing by more than fifty-million people each and every year, the need for food and fuel has nowhere to go but up.  The recent rush to produce more bio fuels has, undoubtedly, put more pressure on food supplies.  But the answer is not cutting back on bio fuel production that gives us only short-term relief for a very long-term problem.  In order to meet the demand, for both food and fuel, worldwide agriculture has to become more productive through the use of bio technology, better farming and irrigation and pest control; all methods that have made American agriculture the most productive anywhere.  Yet, whether it be political prejudice against bio technology, or just the lack of funds for irrigation and pest control, you don’t find our level of productivity in most of the world.  So as consumption grows around the globe, if other countries do not increase yields comparable to what we see here right here in the U S, people will go hungry.  It’s that simple, and it’s time to take action.  I’m Rob McClendon.  Thanks for watching.  See you soon.
