Jim Rogers RICIA Index up 18 percent thanks to Drought-Driven High Corn Prices

The Rogers International Commodities Index for Agriculture, or RICIA, has jumped 18 percent "I’m ecstatic to see prices going higher because [that] might save the day,” said Rogers by phone Tuesday. “People like you are sitting around saying ‘Oh my God, evil speculators are making money at the expense of [consumers]. ... If you’re worried about evil speculators making money, go to the field and drive the price down.” He added: “Who’s going to produce this food if the prices don’t go higher?” “America produced 200,000 MBAs last year and fewer than 10,000 agriculture [school] graduates,” said Rogers, echoing a point he’d made to Business Insider earlier in the month. “Are [farmers] going to work for nothing? You better hope prices go higher and people make money. If they don’t, we’re not going to have any food.” Rogers added: “For the first time in recorded history, we don’t have anyone to go plant the crops.” - in The Huffingtonpost
