As I said, at most a one year issue. There are some that would normally need to already have it in the ground to make harvest. Others will seed later and still can make a switch. If the price spike is high enough, we would see lesser value crops turned under to reseed wheat if the grow season permits. Capitalism is an amazing thing when it comes to solving shortages.
