')ALthough with the Amazon Rainforest being reduced to fields of Soybeans, the world may be highly oversupplied in a few years.
Rainforest can not be used to grow Soybeans, Corn or Wheat. I think it is because the soil is to thin. Usualy it is burned down to get some grassland for cattle.
Actually the amount of land which is suitable for farming gets less worldwide day by day.
You need a lot of oil and electricity for modern farming, so this will push up prices.
In the last ten years wheat, corn, sugar and soybean have been getting cheaper through better fertilizer, cultures and machines. But maybe all "improvements" have been made and the prices are bottoning.
I believe that the soft commodities will have a strong bull market in the near future. But dont ask me for the exact timing.
