I'd take that source with a grain of salt.

The website's domain was created 3 months ago (site doesn't even have any entries in the wayback machine) and supposedly pulls from USDA AMS data but when I looked at reports[1][2] I didn't see double prices compared to last year.

Some prices even looked lower? But it was hard to make comparisons because of report structure and data disparity.

When I read this thread, "Interstellar" immediately comes to mind.

Thanks for sharing!
