Bombs and Poison Gas = Corn and Soybeans
by Glen Boudreaux
President, Houston Farmers' Market

Just an interesting historical fact for today's newsletter. Make of it what you will.
Following the surrenders of the Axis Powers ending WWII, the western world found itself with a great surplus of materials used to make bombs and poison gases. What did we do with it? We turned ammonium nitrate from bomb-making to nitrogen fertilizer, our poison gases into agricultural pesticides.
Hmmm...
