Luckily, I have plenty of both of them in storage. But then I just read that the government is planning on releasing the sugar in national storage to be used in ethanol production, to relieve the crunch on corn. Guess what that'll do to the prices of sugar at the store!!!! Where will it end??? Jackie Miss Iris,

Looks like I am going to have to turn a larger portion of my yard into growing vegetables.
